🎙️ Just published a new episode of Code. Deploy. Go Live.: 030 | M365 Copilot Declarative Agents Level Up: MCP Apps, Embedded Knowledge & Coding Skills. Have a listen:

⏰ Last call: today at noon ET. A few hours from now I'm going live to answer the question I get more than any other right now: "Andrew, which agent option should I actually use?"

You rolled out M365 Copilot. Leadership's happy. Press release went out. 🚀 Then someone asks: "Can it answer questions from our SOPs? Our ERP? That SharePoint site nobody's touched since 2019 but somehow runs half the company?" Out of the box? No. 😳 🧵 👇

#VibeCoding and #AgenticEngineering are NOT the same thing. After months of using AI agents daily, I wrote about where vibe coding falls apart and why agentic engineering is the better path for professional devs. 📧 That's what today's newsletter is about 🔗 vtns.io/zid6jj#VibeCoding#AgenticEngineering#ClaudeCode

Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit v6.6.0 just dropped and it's a big one. 🏛️ GCC-M support 🧠 Embedded knowledge for Declarative Agents 🔌 MCP going GA 🗑️ 61 templates removed Here's what you need to know. 🧵 👇

The ‘Board of Peace’ started World War 3 so fast.

Microsoft says don't do DOM manipulation in SPFx. I teach devs the same. But I do it myself. In this week's newsletter, I shared the responsible approach I follow and the real-world solutions I've built with it. Subscribe to catch this issue and future ones!

💡 SPFx 1.22 updates the toolchain; Gulp is out, Heft is in. Let @vesajuvonen.bsky.social and @andrewconnell.com show what changes and how the new build pipeline works. 📺 Watch the demo → youtu.be/ofd2pLMVvS0

Workshop starts Monday. Discounted early-bird seats still available for hands-on #MicrosoftTeams app development training. This isn't recorded content - it's live instruction with real-time help. 📅 Feb 10-12 & Feb 17-19 🎟️ vtns.io/fghfz1#MicrosoftTeams #MicrosoftTeams #DevTraining

Here's what you WON'T learn in my Microsoft Teams workshop: shortcuts that break in production, theory without practice, and how to chase every feature Microsoft announced last week. Here's what you WILL learn: How to build Teams apps that actually work. 🎟️ vtns.io/fghfz1 🧵 👇

Early-bird pricing ends soon. Save $50 on my #MicrosoftTeams AppDev workshop - but only if you're one of the first 25 to register. Feb 10-12 and Feb 17-19. Live instruction. Small class. 🎟️ vtns.io/fghfz1#MicrosoftTeams #Teams #Workshop

"Truly an exemplary learning experience!" - Rod Merritt, Staff Engineer at Monster Energy Join my Microsoft Teams Apps workshop this February and get the same hands-on, expert instruction. 🎟️ Register: vtns.io/fghfz1 #DeveloperWorkshop

"Andrew's clear guidance, combined with practical demos and code examples, made complex topics incredibly easy to understand. Truly an exemplary learning experience!" - Rod Merritt, Staff Engineer at Monster Energy 🎟️ Join the Feb workshop: vtns.io/fghfz1 🧵 👇

The Microsoft Teams documentation is scattered, incomplete, and often outdated. If you've tried to learn Teams development from the official docs, you already know this. There's no clear path from "I want to build an app" to "I shipped to production." 🧵 👇 🎟️ vtns.io/fghfz1

You can't build production Teams apps from documentation alone. You need expert guidance, real examples, and someone to help when you get stuck. That's what my workshop provides. Feb 10-19. 🎟️ vtns.io/fghfz1 #TeamsDev #LiveTraining

The best Teams developers I know didn't start with AI bots. They started with tabs - the foundation that everything else builds on. 🎟️ Learn Teams app fundamentals in my Feb 10-19 workshop: vtns.io/fghfz1 #MicrosoftTeams #WebDevelopment

Most developers start Microsoft Teams development backwards - jumping into bots and AI before understanding tabs and personal apps. That's why they struggle. Master the foundation first. Everything else gets easier. 🎟️ Workshop Feb 10-19: vtns.io/fghfz1 🧵👇

I've been teaching #SharePointFramework development for years. I can tell you this with certainty 👉 the gulp-to-Heft transition is where most teams will struggle in 2026. Not because #Heft is bad. It's actually better designed for complex scenarios. 🎟️ vtns.io/spfx122-bsky#SharePointFramework#Heft🧵 👇

The gulp-to-Heft switch in #SharePointFramework is the biggest toolchain change in years. Most devs are confused about migration.

SPFx v1.22's new Heft build system is powerful but has a learning curve. Free webinar this Thursday walks through the architecture, migration strategies, & customization patterns. Interactive Q&A included!! 🎟️ Register now vtns.io/spfx122-bsky #SharePoint #BuildTools #SharePointFramework #SPFx

The gulp-to-Heft migration in #SPFx v1.22 isn't optional. Sure, your existing projects still work. Microsoft didn't break backward compatibility. But every new SPFx project uses Heft now. 🧵 👇 #SharePointFramework #gulp #heft 🎟️ vtns.io/spfx122-bsky

Documentation teaches syntax. Stack Overflow solves errors. But neither teaches you the PATTERNS that make SPFx solutions maintainable and scalable. That's the gap my workshop fills. 🧵 👇

Three questions I keep hearing about the SPFx v1.22 build system changes: ❓ Do I need to migrate my existing projects right now? ❓ How do I implement the same customizations I had with gulp? ❓ What happens to my custom webpack configurations? 🧵👇 🎟️ vtns.io/spfx122-bsky
