Frequently asked questions
I’m Microsoft Certified Trainer and would be looking to reuse this material locally at my company. Do I need to contact someone?
No permissions or contacts needed. We are providing this material for anyone to reuse anyway they want.
I would be looking into delivering local/internal training with the only subset of the modules. Are there any specifics to think about?
You can absolutely use the only subset of the modules or provide two different training packages. We have intentionally not provided specific order numbering gon the modules as they can be considered to be fully independent. If you are rebuilding a training package based on this material, we do recommend to ensure that the order and flow to make sense by starting from basics and then moving to more advanced scenarios.
Can I use the provided presentations, slides and demos in my own presentation deliveries?
Absolutely you can. You can use all provided material where ever you want, anyway, you want.
I have questions or challenges with the provided topics, where should I report those?
Please use the centralized SharePoint Dev issue list at http://aka.ms/spdev-issues, so that we will see your input as soon as possible. As the material is provided through numerous repositories, opening issues on those specific repositories are not recommended as they could get created without us noticing their existence.
What’s the relationship of this materials to the tutorials in the SharePoint dev docs?
Getting started with SharePoint Framework and SharePoint Framework extension tutorials are a separate series which are maintained together with our official documentation. These will be the most up to date written materials for the SharePoint Framework development. This training package is using tutorial materials, but we decided to keep them isolated to ensure easier versioning model for both of them. This means that the training modules are completely isolated to own repositories for easier maintenance.
