- [Instructor] As we're going to see as we work through the course together, Microsoft Teams extensions make extensive use of web technologies, such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript and TypeScript, and Node.js. And we'll also be using a client side framework called React. Now, a lot of what we're going to see can also be implemented in .net and using Visual Studio. But we're going to focus on the JavaScript web development stack for this course. If you come from a .net development background then you'll find that most of what we're going to see can also be implemented with technologies like, ASP.NET, IIS and C#. But learning these web technologies isn't the focus of this course. If you feel you'd like to learn more about these topics, then I'd recommend looking at some of the other courses on LinkedIn Learning. And for example, if I search for JavaScript, you'll see that there are a lot of courses to choose from. I'm also going to assume that you have a Microsoft 365 tenant to work with. This should be a tenant you control and that you don't really care about. If you have admin access to your organization's production Microsoft 365 tenant, for example, well, that's not a great choice for where to do your experiments. If you need a tenant, you can join the Microsoft 365 developer program by going to this page, developer.microsoft.com. And by the way, the design of this might change a little bit from time to time. But there's a good link here for the documentation which we'll use a lot for Microsoft Teams. But what I actually want is this Microsoft 365 link. And if I scroll down here there's a link to join the Microsoft 365 developer program. And I can use that to get a Microsoft 365 tenant that I can work in. And I'll go through the detailed steps to set up that tenant later in the course.
