In last week’s Garage Series for Office 365 video, some of the most requested extensibility options in SharePoint and SharePoint Online were shown using the app model. This week, the garage series continues “to show love to developers who are looking to extend the email experience across platforms,” writes Jeremy Chapman on the Office Blogs.
In the new video, Chapman is joined by Jason Henderson from the Exchange engineering team, and the two explain not only how mail apps work, but also how to build and preview them using Visual Studio, as well as how apps can insert data directly from a Web service into the body of an email.
Henderson also describes how OAuth is used to provide secure and scoped access to content, tasks or calendar as well as how an app can be written once and consumed within Windows, OWA for iPad/iPhone and the upcoming OWA for Android app.
To learn more, watch the video and head over to the Office Blogs.
