Office 365 - developer decisions tips and tricks (Chris O'Brien)
Covers some advanced development techniques for SharePoint Online, which our team uses for efficient delivery of team-based Office 365 projects. Covers key decisions such as how to deal with test environments, our approach for multiple Office 365 tenancies, choices for development environments, and guidance on how to interpret Microsoft's guidance on the sandbox being deprecated. A key focus of the presentation is automation of development tasks in Office 365 (e.g. deploying Managed Metadata taxonomy, uploading/activating WSPs to the Solution Gallery etc.)
