Developing Apps For Office
So – I’ve been playing a lot with Apps for Office lately. I even wrote and published an app:

My management encouraged me to put together a presentation on everything I learned while developing this app. I did, and they asked me to record a video of me delivering this presentation. So – now you all get to hear me drone on about App development. Here’s the entry on the Partner Technical Services blog containing my presentation:
And here’s the direct YouTube link:
Microsoft Office - Lessons Learned Developing Apps for the Office Store
and the direct link to the slide deck:
In case you don’t want to dig through the slide deck for the links I reference, here they all are:

Finally, my JQuery EWS parsing trick:
(function ($) {
$.fn.filterNode = function (name) {
return this.find('*').filter(function () {
return this.nodeName === name;
});
};
})(jQuery);
function callback(asyncResult) {
var response = $.parseXML(asyncResult.value);
var responseDOM = $(response);
var Prop = responseDOM.filterNode("t:InternetMessageHeaders")[0];
Enjoy!
