Latest Pluralsight topics

Close friends of mine know there’s a podcast that I’ve become a huge fan of over the last two years. It’s called Startups for the Rest of Us by Rob Walling & Mike Taber … their topic is all about working on startups as a solopreneur or micropreneur. Even if you aren’t doing a startup, if you’re a self starter or someone who works from home or works for yourself, there are tons of good life and work tips in this show.

Learn how you can use the Office 365 Contacts API to do all the typical CRUD-Q operations on your contacts in your Exchange Online mailbox in Office 365.

For more information about the course, you can checkout the page on my site: Office 365 APIs - Overview, Authentication and the Discovery Service This is the first in a series of courses I am publishing to the Pluralsight catalog on the the Microsoft Office 365 APIs. The Office 365 APIs are a collection of multiple endpoints for different types of data within the Office 365 platform. These endpoints include Contacts, Calendar, Mail and Files (for OneDrive).

In the next week or my latest Pluralsight course will be published for all Pluralsight subscribers to watch. This is the first of multiple courses you’ll see me publish over the coming months as I’m working on a series on the Office 365 APIs. This course, Office 365 APIs - Overview, Authentication and the Discovery Service, will service as the common pre-requisite for my other courses. Future courses will address each Office 365 endpoint such as mail, calendar, contacts, files & whatever comes next from the Office 365 guys.

This course will introduce developers to the Office 365 APIs, a new set of APIs that will be constantly improved and updated by Microsoft. All four of the endpoints provided in the Office 365 APIs share common characteristics, such as tooling.

With great pleasure I’m thrilled to announce my latest Pluralsight course is finally live: Building SharePoint Apps as Single Page Apps with AngularJS . It took a bit longer to get this one published due to some last minute feedback I got from a few reviewers who saw a preview of it. Based on the feedback I added some disclaimer and prerequisite info to the first module. I do not try to teach you AngularJS in this course or every thing about building a SPA, rather I take the liberty of assuming you are versed in these areas and you just want to do how to do this in SharePoint.

Learn how to implement a SharePoint-hosted App as a Single Page App (SPA) using the popular AngularJS presentation framework.

Today Pluralsight published a course dedicated on creating workflows that talk to various types of web services: SharePoint 2013 Workflow - Web Services.

A few months ago I published a series of developer ramp up courses for SharePoint 2013 to Pluralsight that was based on the Beta 2 (aka: Preview) build that was released by Microsoft in July of 2012. Today I’m pleased to announce that we’ve updated the entire SharePoint 2013 developer ramp up series for the RTM release that hit general availability this month. Now you can get deep depth developer training for SharePoint 2013 RTM through Pluralsight!

Yesterday Pluralsight published a 6-part developer ramp-up course for SharePoint 2013 to their on demand catalog. This is the first on-demand SharePoint 2013 developer content out there and is a great complement to the hands-on developer Great SharePoint Adventure 2013 developer course we teach as well. The Pluralsight course was recorded and based on SharePoint 2013 Beta 2 (aka Preview). I’ll get it refreshed with more content & updated for RTM in the coming months, but for now there aren’t many dramatic changes.
