Demos

Demos delivered in this session

• Discover the Microsoft Graph Toolkit (MGT) – first of several sessions on MGT. What is MGT and why use it? Step through 12 major components – purpose and how invoked.  Each component brings a wealth of information securely to your app. Look at resources – Repo, documentation, Playground, and training. Subsequent sessions to go deeper into components and settings; customization with styles, templates and caching; and integrations with React, SPFx, and providers.

• Introduction to the Microsoft 365 developer program and to the instant development environment – join the program and install the instantly available, secure and completely isolated, pre-provisioned Developer tenant.  Create a profile and tour the structures and content. The E5 Developer tenant comes with all Office apps, 16 sample users, mail, events, data, templates, reports, AAD, Microsoft Teams and SharePoint sites. The E5 tenant renews every 90 days, if used and does not supplant your existing E3 developer tenant.

Thank you for your work. Samples are often showcased in Demos.
