Slide decks for “SharePoint-hosted apps deep-dive” and “Customising SP2013 with JavaScript” published

A brief post to mention that I’ve now published my slide decks for the two talks I delivered at the SharePoint Evolutions Conference in April 2013. I had a great time at the conference (as always!), and it was awesome to have so many people come to the sessions – thanks to all who came, I appreciate it. Just for a bit of atmosphere, here’s the attendee perspective in one of these conference talks (not mine – I was at the back, taking the photo):

As always, technical talks are made richer by the demos and the decks alone do not convey this – I’ve added some screenshots for one talk (the JavaScript session), but I haven’t for the apps talk as I’m not sure they would add as much. Anyway, here’s the summary and links:

Customizing the SharePoint 2013 user interface with JavaScript

Covers several approaches for user interface customization in SP2013 - using JSLink to customize a list and/or view, creating custom Display Templates for the Content Search web part, and different approaches for customizing the search hover panel.

Deep dive into SharePoint 2013 hosted apps

Covers key aspects of SharePoint 2013 apps, with a focus on SharePoint-hosted apps. Includes detail on app parts, using web parts within an app, configuring SSL, troubleshooting apps and possible reasons to move away from a SharePoint-hosted app to a cloud app. Also covers "high-privilege" apps which provision to the host web.
