PnP Weekly - Episode 104 - 9th of November 2020

In this installment of the weekly discussion revolving around the latest news and topics on Microsoft 365, host – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft) | @vesajuvonen is joined by Cameron Dwyer (OnePlace Solutions) | @CameronDwyer - CTO and Office Development MVP at OnePlace Solutions, located in Sydney, Australia.  Differences between the ISV – SAAS product developer and the Corporate Developer are considered during this session. 

Topics broached include the selection of tools and methods for UX dev layer, API layer, discovery with Microsoft Graph, real web components, authentication and identity across workloads, and more.   Insights and challenges when moving from consulting to products and from product license management to a subscription-based model were shared.   Why should partners consider the Microsoft 365 ecosystem?  Pretty clear reasons are called out in this episode.   Twelve recently released articles and videos from Microsoft and the PnP Community are highlighted in this session as well.
