#spthingaday 041 – Development. But I Can't Live Without SSOM!. #SharePoint, #Office365, #Development.. Yesterday, we discussed that you should never use the Server Side Object Model. Well, if you can't use SSOM, what can you use? Instead, use SharePoint's Client Side Object Model – CSOM – and the REST APIs. But what if you're scripting with PowerShell? CSOM can be quite ungainly, even in C#. For DevOps folks, look at the Patterns and Practices (PnP) PowerShell cmdlets. With a familiar syntax, you can write scripts against SharePoint Server 2013, 2016 and SharePoint Online in a consistent way. Also, the majority of the PnP cmdlets return CSOM objects. #microsoft #microsoftoffice #microsoftsharepoint #microsofttraining #officetraining #freetraining #trainingvideos #contentmanagement #enterprisecontentmanagement
