On May 28th 2016 I visited SharePoint Saturday in Paris (http://www.spsevents.org/city/Paris/Paris2016/). The event was held in the Montparnasse Tower in the center of Paris on the 40th floor. We had an amazing view from that height.
This article contains my notes of the day.
Start of the day We had some trouble getting in the building because of some regulations of the building owner, but when we were all registered we could go all the way up to the 40th floor.
Microsoft has released a new framework for developing an awesome front-end called Office UI Fabric. So the big question is why did Microsoft created this framework? We already have a ton of different frameworks for front-end development like Bootstrap, Semantic UI, 960 Grid System and many more.
The short answer is that we did not have a framework for creating Office or SharePoint add-ins that integrates with the looks of Office applications.
This week Microsoft released the new version of Office (https://blogs.office.com/2015/09/22/thenewoffice/) and with that came a new version of Skype for Business. I installed this on all of my machines including 1 of my customer, they use an older version of Lync and I got an message that the server version is not compatible with the client.
I had this before with the previous versions of Office so I headed over to the blog of my colleague Albert Hoitingh who had a registry key for the previous versions.
