SharePoint \/ Office 365 Dev Patterns and Practices<\/a> (PnP) January 2017 release is out with new contributions from community for the community. This post contains all the details related on what was included with the release and what else has been happening in the PnP world during the past month.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is SharePoint \/ Office Dev Patterns & Practices (PnP)?<\/h2>\n

\"SharePoint PnP is community driven open source initiative where Microsoft and external community members are sharing their learning’s around implementation<\/em> practices for SharePoint and Office 365. Active development and contributions happen our GitHub projects<\/a> under ‘dev’ branch and each month there will be a master merge (monthly release) with more comprehensive testing and communications.<\/p>\n

PnP is owned and coordinated by SharePoint engineering, but this is work done by the community for the community. It’s been great to find both internal and external people who are willing to assist and share their learning’s for the benefit of others. This way we can build on the common knowledge of us all. Currently program is facilitated by Microsoft, but already at this point we have multiple community members as part of the PnP Core team and we are looking to extend the Core team with more community members.<\/p>\n

Notice that since this is open source community program, there’s no SLAs for the support what we provide from program. You can use SharePoint Developer group<\/a> in the Microsoft Tech Community for providing input and to ask any questions around the existing materials. If you are interested on getting more closely involved, please check the following guidance from our GitHub wiki or a referenced PnP Webcast.<\/p>\n
