Provides ready to use code for common scenariosCode includes for Office365 and on-premiseProvides Examples, Guidelines, and Reference CodesJuly 2014 release has Components, Samples, Scenarios, and SolutionsBundle of code can also be used for knowledge gain Another important note here is, we can also provide feedback to the team on scenarios which are not covered in the release. This project really speed up the learning curve and also saves lots of time in development. I've already downloaded the package and excited to go through these samples.
