Microsoft says don't do DOM manipulation in SPFx.

I teach devs the same. But I do it myself.

In this week's newsletter, I shared the responsible approach I follow and the real-world solutions I've built with it.

Did you know M365 Copilot has a hidden default that overrides your agent's instructions?

In my latest newsletter, I break down the problem, how I discovered it, and the fix.

Your M365 Copilot agent isn't ignoring your instructions by accident.

There's a hidden default workflow overriding your prompt engineering.

I'm breaking down the problem and the fix in my next newsletter issue today!

Here's what you WON'T learn in my Microsoft Teams workshop: shortcuts that break in production, theory without practice, and how to chase every feature Microsoft announced last week.

Here's what you WILL learn: How to build Teams apps that actually work.

My approach:

βœ… start with fundamentals
βœ… build systematically
βœ… make sure everyone understands before moving forward.

Small class size means personalized attention and real-time troubleshooting.

I don't just show you the happy path.

I show you the debugging, the "why isn't this working?" moments, the real-world challenges that official documentation conveniently skips.

My workshop fills that gap. We build actual Teams apps together - tabs, personal apps, integrated solutions.

The stuff you'll actually use in your job, not just hello world examples.

That's not your fault. The docs are spread across multiple sites, assume knowledge they never explained, and skip critical setup steps.

Half the tutorials break when the toolkit updates.

The Microsoft Teams documentation is scattered, incomplete, and often outdated. If you've tried to learn Teams development from the official docs, you already know this.

There's no clear path from "I want to build an app" to "I shipped to production."

You can't build production Teams apps from documentation alone. You need expert guidance, real examples, and someone to help when you get stuck.

That's what my workshop provides. Feb 10-19.
