#Office365Challenge – Adding Apps in SharePoint is what makes it SO GREAT. You don’t have to be a developer. Microsoft has prebuilt apps that can be used and built in literally minutes. Always keep in mind – just because it’s easy – doesn’t mean you have to plan less. Over the next couple of posts I’ll be going through all the apps available in SharePoint, after which we’ll start looking at building apps – better.

I cannot wait!!
Overview of my challenge: As an absolute lover of all things Microsoft, I’ve decided to undertake the challenge, of writing a blog every single day, for the next 365 days. Crazy, I know. And I’ll try my best, but if I cannot find something good to say about Office 365 and the Tools it includes for 365 days, I’m changing my profession. So let’s write this epic tale of “Around the Office in 365 Days”. My ode to Microsoft Office 365.
Keep in mind that these tips and tricks do not only apply to Office 365 – but where applicable, to the overall Microsoft Office Suite and SharePoint.
