Apps for Office introduces a new programming model that is so flexible, you may not believe it unless you see it with your own eyes. You might say it is dangerously simple to enhance the functionality of Office. Apps for Office allow you to enhance the user experience for Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Project and Word, most likely using your existing skills. Starting with a brief discussion surrounding the road-map for the various types of Office apps, this talk will focus primarily on Mail apps and how you can use them to provide very valuable enhancements to the message and appointment (reading and composing) experiences. You will learn about what if takes to develop a Mail app (a real app, currently under development will be shown), what the infrastructure looks like to deploy a mail app, what the licensing process looks like and how easy they are to monetize. After the discussion, you will likely be beaming with ideas and be rushing home to begin building your very own App for Office.
