The best Teams developers I know didn't start with AI bots. They started with tabs - the foundation that everything else builds on.

🎟️ Learn Teams app fundamentals in my Feb 10-19 workshop: vtns.io/fghfz1

Most developers start Microsoft Teams development backwards - jumping into bots and AI before understanding tabs and personal apps. That's why they struggle.

Master the foundation first. Everything else gets easier.

I've been teaching #SharePointFramework development for years.

I can tell you this with certainty 👉 the gulp-to-Heft transition is where most teams will struggle in 2026.

Not because #Heft is bad. It's actually better designed for complex scenarios.

The gulp-to-Heft switch in #SharePointFramework is the biggest toolchain change in years.

Most devs are confused about migration.

I'm breaking it down Jan 8 - architecture, migration examples, customization patterns.

SPFx v1.22's new Heft build system is powerful but has a learning curve.

Free webinar this Thursday walks through the architecture, migration strategies, & customization patterns.

Interactive Q&A included!!

The gulp-to-Heft migration in #SPFx v1.22 isn't optional.

Sure, your existing projects still work. Microsoft didn't break backward compatibility. But every new SPFx project uses Heft now.

3 questions every SPFx dev is asking: Do I migrate now? How do I customize Heft? What about webpack?

Answering all of this in a free webinar on Thursday, Jan 8.

Real examples, no fluff.

Documentation teaches syntax.

Stack Overflow solves errors.

But neither teaches you the PATTERNS that make SPFx solutions maintainable and scalable.

That's the gap my workshop fills.

January 2, 2026 at 7:15 PM
Three questions I keep hearing about the SPFx v1.22 build system changes:

❓ Do I need to migrate my existing projects right now?
❓ How do I implement the same customizations I had with gulp?
❓ What happens to my custom webpack configurations?

Microsoft just killed gulp in SharePoint Framework v1.22. 😱

If you've spent years mastering gulp-based SPFx workflows, this probably feels like the rug getting pulled out from under you.
