Demos
- Build your first Notification bot in C# for Microsoft Teams with Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio – use Notification bots to get information, i.e., weather information, from an API delivered to you via Adaptive Card. When you create a project, you will see step-by-step guidance displayed in the template. Follow it! Use ngrok for tunneling, create dependencies, F5 to run project, trigger your bot, update bot to point to desired API, replace default data in Adaptive Card with your information. Walk through code.
- What’s new for Microsoft Search Usage reports – step through recently introduced workplace org scoped reports and metrics found in Admin Center Search & Intelligence, Insights tab. See usage overview, query analytics, user analytics, and connection analytics. More metrics by country, occupation department, site collection. New metrics in the works - time saved by employee, custom result types, tenant speller and Syntex augmented. Extending search canvases to include Teams and Outlook soon.
- Creating SPFx powered multi-tab solution using Microsoft Teams Toolkit – integrations of SPFx capabilities in Teams Toolkit on Visual Studio Code are frequent. It’s easy to build a tab project and to add an additional tab. See how Teams Toolkit encapsulates the SPFx solution to its own sub-folder. All development, testing and debugging is done live in TypeScript and use F5 for hot reloads. Azure integrations, code samples, etc. are just around the corner.
