inspirexlogo

So, What is InspireX?
InspireX is a great chance to connect, interact and learn from a community of Nintex and Drawloop customers, partners and employees to help you solve workflow challenges, and maximize the value of your solutions. It’s also a chance for you to hear inspiring keynotes from Nintex CEO John Burton and renowned futurist Mike Walsh.

And what are you speaking about?
Well, I was so lucky to have my both submissions accepted, here is a little bit of information on them:

Application Lifecycle Management for Nintex Solutions
Monday, February 22, 2016 – 1-2:30 pm
Are you facing difficulties deploying Nintex solutions between your different environments—Dev, Test, Staging and Production? Over several demos, we’ll help you extend the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) techniques for SharePoint to support and deploy Nintex solutions – including the process to create Custom Actions in C#. We’ll also cover how to get started with automating the build and packaging of Nintex workflow and forms along with your SharePoint artifacts in WSPs, deploying the resulting packages to Virtual Testing labs, then automatically running automated tests against the solutions.

Getting the Most Out of the Nintex Repeating Section
Monday, February 22, 2016 – 3-4:30 pm
Repeating sections are very cool and powerful if you want to create 1: many relationships within your Nintex forms. However, they come with some difficulties when parsing, using and displaying the records stored within them. This session introduces you to best practices for using the Repeating Section Control and introduces you to powerful and easy-touse third-party solutions that were created by the Nintex community to enrich and simplify working with them.

Azure ExpressRoute connectivity to Office 365

Yesterday, Microsoft Office Division made an announcement that starting later this year, Office 365 customers will be able to use Azure ExpressRoute to establish a private, managed connection to Office 365. This is something Microsoft customers have been asking for since ExpressRoute launched last year. Currently, ExpressRoute provides customers with dedicated network connectivity through a private connection from their network to Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft has decided to take this to the next level by extending the same option for connectivity to Office 365.

Increasing opportunities for JavaScript developers on the Office 365 platform

Last Friday, Microsoft announced new capabilities to allow JavaScript developers to interact with the Office 365 APIs.

The OneDrive for Business and Sites APIs now have cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) support and Mail/Calendar/Contacts are coming soon. As more Office 365 API endpoints come online for services they will also support this including Office Graph, Yammer, Video Portal, Skype and content services.

Developers now have the choice to call the Office 365 APIs from the server-side or client-side. This means developers can write single page applications, which have a better user experience and better performance, because they don’t have to proxy all their calls through a server-side façade service.
