Putting public speaking to rest – At least for a little while

Many great SharePoint Saturdays are coming up later this year in Europe and all over the world. I think it is time for me to take a break from public speaking.

The biggest struggle I always over the last couple of years to find topics. Topics people are interested to hear. On the other hand, great people of the community came to me asking if I can do a session about this or about that. Special thanks to Serge Luca and Daniel Laskewitz. Recommendations are always welcome too.

I’m speaking at the European SharePoint Conference 2015

Pretty honored to announce that I will speak at Europe’s largest SharePoint and office 365 event in Stockholm Sweden from 9th-12th November 2015.

I will be conducting a session on “Make SharePoint SASSy” aimed at Developers.

CSS can get overly complex and unwieldy very quickly—resulting in thousands of lines of CSS code across many files, yielding errors and becoming a maintenance nightmare! Believe me… there is a better way! SASS (“Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets”) is fast becoming the preferred approach in developing CSS! SASS is an extension to CSS that arms you with programming features, such as variables, functions, loops and many more. Join me to learn SASS and move from a complete novice to someone who knows where SASS fits and how to use it with SharePoint.

In this session, you will learn:
What SASS is and how to use it.

  • How to use SASS to brand SharePoint without requiring lengthy deployments.
  • How to create simple rich text editor styles using mix-ins and includes.
  • How to apply a grid layout and make it responsive.
  • How to structure your branding correctly to make it more maintainable.
  • How CSS 4 fits into the picture and its effect on SASS.

ESPC-Programme

If you want a comprehensive breakdown of the latest innovations on all workloads of Office 365, and SharePoint is one of them, including the inside scoop on SharePoint 2016 and Office 365 Next Gen Portals as well as practical, actionable advice on how to leverage the cloud, SharePoint, Yammer, the Office Graph, Delve and much more to the best of your ability then European SharePoint Conference 2015 is a must in your calendar!
