Updating Legacy SharePoint Customizations to the Add-in Model
SharePoint solutions developed using legacy approaches often can't be directly migrated to the cloud. In this course, you'll learn the preferred modern approach to SharePoint development using techniques from the SharePoint Add-in model.
What you'll learn
Most of the custom code developed for earlier versions of SharePoint cannot be directly migrated to the cloud. In this course, Updating Legacy SharePoint Customizations to the Add-in Model, you will learn how the SharePoint Add-in model allows you to develop maintainable user interface customizations, declarative customizations, and timer job customizations that have traditionally been accomplished using custom server-side code. First, you'll learn about taking inventory of the server-side code customizations deployed in your environment. Next you'll explore how to brand a SharePoint site without the need for custom master pages. Finally, you'll learn how to use remote provisioning to deploy assets to SharePoint. When you're finished with this course, you will be able to categorize the types of customizations you may have performed with farm and sandboxed solutions in the past, and you'll understand how to approach developing each of them using techniques from the Add-in model.
