This was my first video from your channel… Wow I’m impressed, I was engaged from beginning to end! Thanks for the great content. I’m a PowerBI developper looking to expand my expertise to the rest of the power platform. I agreed with all what you said, the wave is here. You either hop on and ride or get left behind.
Thank you for the paradigm shift. I have tons of SharePoint 2003 - 2019 content I thought I needed to keep up with and maintain on a personal in-house server. Goodbye, Windows 2019 server! No more guilt.
You're welcome! It's great to hear that this paradigm shift has helped you see the possibilities of moving your SharePoint content to the cloud. Letting go of the responsibility of maintaining an in-house server can be liberating, and it's definitely the way forward. Embrace the cloud and enjoy the benefits of scalability, accessibility, and continuous updates provided by SharePoint Online. Goodbye guilt and hello to a more efficient and modern way of managing your content!
your message is sound. Currently working on my Power Platform certifications and using the tech to build business solutions for my team. I still dont know where exactly i want to go (Analyst or Power Platform Dev), but the more i research, the more i see that is where enterprise software is going.
Yes, that's been my experience as well. With the whole AI wave, power platform will be that much more important...you can make some magical things happen with the power platform.
Hey man, loving your content. I would love to see a video of you talking a bit more about the future trends, business needs you see in the next 2-3 years. I was recently watching the latest on microsoft copilot and things are moving pretty quickly as the ecosystem develop.
Yes, thanks for this video. Everything in your video rings true. We are moving to M365 in the next couple months but our plan is to keep any heavily customized sites to remain on-prem SP2016, mainly due to heavily customized Nintex Forms and Workflows. I was told to look at learning SPFx but I think just start with PowerApps to customize forms for now.
Thanks for watching, yes I initially thought SPFX was going to be the go-to. Until I saw the true value of power apps and power automate. Some solutions definitely will require you to be creative, but the power platform allows for that creativity. Good luck on your journey, keep me posted on how things go
Very motivational stuff here. I've actually recently done a migration of my company's SharePoint from on prem to online less than two weeks ago and between everything else I have to I already have two applications for two different teams in their hands to review and test. There's a lot more work to be done however I'm actually looking forwards to it and enjoying the process. I'll have to agree with you here. Do your planning but don't be afraid to go with the modern version of SPO. I jumped right in, nothing's on fire, it's all new, exciting and full of potential from my point of view. I have tons of ideas for things to improve processes and the information that people see. I'm just going to do them and then present it! AI has given me some incorrect responses a few times but no biggie, I'm still interested in that and integrating it. I don't think that there is a case of anything that we've done before on prem that we can't possibly do better with SPO.
That's great to hear! It sounds like you've made a successful migration to SharePoint online and are already seeing the potential and benefits of the modern version. It's awesome that you're enjoying the process and have many ideas for improving processes and information visibility. AI can definitely be a valuable tool to integrate into your SharePoint environment, despite the occasional incorrect response. Keep up the great work, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance!
From my experience there's always been that dooms day message about server going away since the 2010 move to CSOM etc. I kinda believe there will always be a need for the server version because not everyone fully trust the 100% hosted environments especially those considering GCC-High Gov clouds vs server
yes, doom & gloom but with some truth about it. me personally, I would not bet my career with only on-prem experience. I've been down that road and it is a hard one to climb out of.
@@DeShonClark Agreed, but I don't know many devs who are still pumping out server side code. The market just won't support that as too many users are used to snappy apps and integration. Hybrid is the middle ground with using Power Plat or spfx apps with frameworks like Ang/React
I agree with most of the stuff you mentioned, but SPFx development skillset is critical (its no longer SPFx, its becoming more of a Microsoft Solution Framework) as its the basis of building Teams App, Viva Connection Adaptive Cards, etc. There will be lots of scenario where powerapps would not satisfy the requirements. However I would say that, I don't start from scratch for SPFx, and try to leverage the PnP sample webparts contributed in the community and use it as starting boilerplate code and tune it for the use case scenario. Also I would add that Azure development would be a big part of learning, as the solution in the cloud is blend of a lot of moving parts spread over like Azure functions, Azure Web API, Azure runbook, logic apps, etc. Its become essentinal to gain MS Graph and Azure AD(apps) and Azure knowledge is mandatory.
I agree, I was told to look at learning SPFx and I see a lot of jobs asking for SPFx as well as PowerApps. As I don't yet know what PowerApps can and can't do for business solutions.
@@BreathingAir I also love a lot of provisioning and site template stuff put together here by DeShone Clark, he explains it really well and very articulate, I'm subscribed to this channel and look forward to his new videos.
Thanks for watching, SPFX has a very steep learning curve. It really just depends on how fast you need to get skilled up (coming from sp on prem). I think it's a 80/20 rule from my experience ...Power platform adds exponential business value compared to the time and effort creating SPFX wet parts. If you're in the environment where the business needs to move fast, hands down, power platform is the way to go. There will be some negotiating on requirements .vs speed to market, but those negotiations happens much earlier in the process. There is definitely a market for SPFX, but just know that route, for someone new to that type of development, comes with a very steep learning curve
