Review
“Anoop T. and Franck Cornu have been closely involved in the journey of the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) since the early dawn of this technology, which has transformed and modernized SharePoint and Microsoft 365 extensibility in recent years. This is not just about technology, but also about the power of open source and community initiatives to influence the modernization of the product.
This book does a great job of explaining how to get started with SPFx, but also, more importantly, learning the recommended patterns to build your experiences within Microsoft 365 using SPFx. There are great real-world examples and code, which will help you successfully create your own solutions.
