zzSharePoint Events

Background

Currently, while most of the data on the site is sourced TinaCMS, there are still some parts using data from SharePoint.

Here are the places where SharePoint data is currently used:

1. Homepage - /

   Figure: The homepage events list with labelled SharePoint fields

   This data is fetched when the user loads the page, so when data is updated in SharePoint, it will instantly be reflected.

2. Events Index Page - /events Figure: The events list with fields from SharePoint labelled

   This data is fetched when the user loads the page - but is cached. Data loaded here can last ~1 hour.

3. .NET UG Pages - /netug/sydney, /netug/melbourne, /netug/brisbane, etc.
