At Build this morning, Microsoft’s Office team announced they are releasing a new set of Office Tools on Visual Studio.

These latest tools will make it easier for developers to build Office add-ins that have deeper integrations with Office cloud services, as well as more functionality for the add-ins’ ribbons and buttons in Office 2016 client applications. And the tools are also being extended to Office 2016 for Mac, extending the reach of Office 2016 apps and add-ins. The last half of the second day of Build is underway with a specific focus on Office, so stay tuned as the story develops.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
