Microsoft Teams, the latest addition to Office 365, that makes it easier for you to chat in groups, socialize, and collaborate

Introduced yesterday... Microsoft Teams, the latest addition to Office 365, that makes it easier for you to chat in groups, socialize, and collaborate. This may really have a coolness factor!

Microsoft Teams is available now in beta form. Microsoft expects the first general release to take place in 2017, Q1.

In the meanwhile it looks like Microsoft is integrating Teams with other platforms as well... for example Visual Studio Team Services,

Looks promising!

SharePoint opens up and (further) embraces Open Source & Office365...

"Whether you are a 1st or 3rd party SharePoint developer, the new SharePoint Framework offers a modern new client side approach that allows you to extend and customize SharePoint with high-trust code in ways that were previously unavailable in the Cloud. Watch, as program manager Daniel Kogan, provides an overview and demonstrates how the SharePoint Framework helps you to create beautiful, responsive solutions that you can customize to your own needs.
