I was in Redmond last week so I grabbed the old pocket camera and a conference room for an off-the-cuff interview with Michael Zlatkovsky, a Program Manager on the Cloud Business Apps team. Michael shows me the new Office 365 APIs and tools for Visual Studio. The Office 365 APIs allow you to easily integrate Office 365 services into your apps in a consistent way. You can access user data like calendars, documents and more using REST APIs and standard OAuth flows from any platform.
Michael shows off the Office 365 API Tools for Visual Studio which adds the ability to quickly integrate and get up to speed with these APIs from your ASP.NET and Windows 8.1 apps.
