Rencore has announced the publication of the eBook “SharePoint Framework for Administrators”. Authored by Rencore product owners and Microsoft MVPs Erwin van Hunen and Waldek Mastykarz, the eBook aims to provide a guide for SharePoint administrators when managing SharePoint Framework (SPFx). To date, this is the only resource available that specifically addresses the challenges and needs of SharePoint administrators.

SharePoint Framework is the newest in a long list of development models for extending SharePoint. Using the SharePoint Framework, developers can extend SharePoint’s functionality to tailor it to the respective organizations business needs and processes.

Although developers are usually fast to get up to speed with new development models, SharePoint administrators seldom have the background or resources to keep up to date. Still, SharePoint Administrators are responsible for platform hygiene and stability, requiring them to know if and how a solution impacts the SharePoint environment before deploying it to production.

Rencore provides SharePoint administrators with a comprehensive guide to help them understand if their SharePoint Framework solutions meet organization quality and security standards before going live in the production environment. Furthermore, the eBook also explains other considerations specific to SharePoint Framework solutions.

“SharePoint Framework significantly differs from other development models available to extend SharePoint,” said Waldek Mastykarz, Product Owner Quality at Rencore.

“Unlike older development models that administrators are familiar with, they may not have the tools to understand what SharePoint Framework solutions they are about to deploy to production. Our guide serves as a comprehensive, first-of-its-kind checklist of measures to take before deploying the first SharePoint Framework solution to production.”

Both authors of the eBook are members of the Office Dev PnP core team, a Microsoft-lead initiative to help developers get the most out of SharePoint’s extensibility capabilities. For Rencore, Erwin and Waldek played a central role in implementing SharePoint Framework capabilities into the Rencore product portfolio ever since the SharePoint Framework was published more than two years ago. They regularly share their expertise in blog articles, eBooks or as speakers at conferences across the globe.
