SharePoint Framework , a new development model for SharePoint which takes the SharePoint experience to the next level with the help of client-side APIs. Introduction For years, Microsoft keeps on enabling the different development models like Farm based solutions, Sandboxed solutions, SharePoint Add-In to access the SharePoint objects with the help of different APIs. And also we have another model in SharePoint by manually injecting a java script file (which created based on JSOM, REST API) to the SharePoint page to obtain the appropriate result. In addition to the above mentioned development models, Recently Microsoft added an another model called “SharePoint Framework model” to build great & better applications. This model is released as open source and this is still in initial stage even for developers. “ The SharePoint Framework is a Page and Part model that enables client-side development for building SharePoint experiences.

Microsoft will launch applications on its Outlook.com email service. The company is expected to show some apps and add-ins for Outlook.com this week and some of the sessions at Build 2015 deal with the software. Apps and add-ins are currently only available for the Office 365 version of Outlook. Developers will soon be able to make an application that runs on Outlook for desktop, Office 365, and Outlook.com. A single store for these apps would be used across platforms. Since apps are limited right now, most of the ones that exist are for the enterprise, not regular users. The apps for Outlook move is part of a larger decision at Microsoft to turn Office into a platform.

While we are just a day away from Microsoft Build 2015 Keynote, it seems like Microsoft has plenty of features to show us. According to the recently leaked screenshots of Windows 10 OS, we are expecting to see a new blurry glass effect in the OS. This glass effect seems to be only present in the Start Menu. It looks cool, but disappears when you switch full-screen mode. Along with that, we are also seeing new 3D Live tiles in the start menu. It appears like a 3D flip and is better than the previous version. Microsoft has also updated the UI for Cortana. It is now more closely integrated into the Start Menu. We are expecting to see new Windows 10 Build tomorrow at the BUILD 2015 developers conference. So, stay tuned for more updates.

In addition to launching the Lumia 640, Microsoft today also launched the Lumia 640XL in India today. As the name suggests, the latter is essentially the phablet version of the Lumia 640, and it too was launched at MWC last month. The phablet is priced at Rs 15,799 in India, and will be exclusively available on Flipkart from today. As far as specifications go, the Lumia 640XL flaunts a 5.7-inch HD (1280×720 pixels) ClearBlack, IPS LCD display with a pixel density of 259ppi. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Microsoft announced a new promotional offer for its premium Lumia handsets in India. The company brings ‘guaranteed cashback offers’ on the  Lumia 930 and Lumia 830 smartphones. The offer is valid starting today and will last until the stocks last. It’s a festive offer, especially launched for Holi.

It has 2 GB RAM and 32 GB total memory space, but no suppor

As promised, late last night Microsoft released the preview of Windows 10 for phones to public. The company is seeding out the update via its Windows Insider app to select handsets. To download the new technical preview, you’ll first have to sign up for the Windows Insider preview program. Windows 10 for phones will support all Lumia handsets running Windows Phone 8 or above. For now, however, the software update is only compatible with select Lumia handsets. The handsets that can snag the update are Lumia 630, Lumia 635, Lumia 636, Lumia 638, Lumia 730, and Lumia 830. The company is blaming something called “partition stitching” for the delay of the rollout to other handsets. The said feature allows the company to dynamically adjust the storage space hogged by the operating system, and some phones have “very tight OS partitions.” Much like its desktop counterpart, Windows 10 for phones also doesn’t pack in all the features. For instance, Messaging on dual-SIM support ha
