This weekend I had the pleasure of speaking at SharePoint Saturday Cincinnati. It was a really well organized event with speakers coming from as far away as Chicago, Texas, Georgia, Indiana, Canada, and even England. However, it wasn’t just the speakers willing to travel, there were attendees coming from all over Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and even Tennessee!

Many of these slides are original but several have been adapted from other sources (mostly Ignite).

I had a great time! SPS Cincinnati had great organizers, great sponsors, great speakers, and great attendees! If you missed it, be sure to be on the lookout for it next year.

Bill Baer will be delivering the keynote: SharePoint, OneDrive, and Digital Transformation – and there are a ton of other great speakers (plus it’s free)!

Our session is at 10:40 and will introduce you to the SharePoint Framework (both web parts and extensions). We’ll actually walk you through getting the various tools installed and ready (bring your laptop) so that by the time you leave you’ll know not only what the SharePoint Framework is, what it can do, and when to use it – you’ll be ready to start experimenting immediately!
