Getting started with PnP - How do I start?
Thank you. I am following the youtube channel. The Ignite conference had lots of videos assuming you're already familiar with PnP. Isn't there any guidance like when SharePoint first released to guide us? We "SharePoint Developers" are familiar with Microsoft tools (Visual Studio and TFS), isn't there any guidance from Microsoft itself to guide us through all this Github, contributing to repos, gulp, etc..? It's too overwhelming for people used to do MS development only and we find ourselves lost in this whole contributing/open-source space.
Have you seen this video? https://channel9.msdn.com/blogs/OfficeDevPnP/PnP-Web-Cast-How-to-get-started-with-Office-Dev-PnP
Paolo Pialorsi has an excellent book that is specifically targeted at this scenario https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1509300910/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
There are also lots of good resources at https://dev.office.com/training
Thanks Dean,
I actually bought Paolo's book, but it's more regarding Graph and SharePoint Add-ins, rather than using the PnP itself.
There is a lot of documentation out there a good start is Github to check the readme files. This explains a lot. It also depends on what you want to do. And if you run into problems you can always ask here in the Forums.
Every month there is a new video explaining some of the features by VesaJuvonen
