apps…• …are not executed in SharePoint App pool• …are in most of the cases not even running on SP Server• …can have full trust, with user’s approval (OAuth)• …can access SharePoint Data• …can access outer world non-SharePoint Data• …can use any external resources• …can be executed in it’s own chrome, as app parts, or as

SharePoint extensions

why apps• Isolated (safe!)• Multi-tenant• Multiple development possibilities (even non-MS stack)• Easier to deploy (no SharePointisms by deployment)• Easier to maintain (lifecycle – versioning, upgrades)• Manageable (SharePoint Marketplace, Corporate Catalog)

• Cloud ready!

sp app design - a choice of three approaches

App Web (from WSP)

Parent Web

SharePoint-hosted App

Provision an isolated sub web on a parent web• Reuse web elements

(lists, files, out-of-box web parts)• No server code allowed; use

client JavaScript for logic, UX

Azure Auto-Provisioned App

Windows Azure + SQL Azure provisioned invisibly as apps are installed

Azure (from

WebDeploy, DacPac)

SharePoint Web

Get remote events from SharePoint Use CSOM/REST + OAuth to work with SP

Cloud-based Apps

Provider-Hosted App

“Bring your own server hosting infrastructure”Developers will need to isolate tenants

app development• Local development• Has to be on Windows Server 2008 R2 (or later)• Memory reqs have gone up – 12 GB RAM seems workable...

But TechNet recommends 24 GB• Extra configuration needed for app development• Visual Studio 2012

• Remote development• Sign up for Office 365 Developer Site• Possible to use NAPA – app for building apps

sharepoint csom and rest api•Apps connect to SharePoint using• SharePoint 2013 Client Side Object Model (CSOM)• SharePoint 2013 REST API• Javascript cross-domain library (SP.RequestExecutor.js)

is an app answer for everything?

things to keep in mind• Plan for RAM. Target = 16Gb for combined dev

environment.• Apps require configuration work to setup. • Developer Knowledge:• Will need to understand DNS and App Domains or work with

someone who does.• If you haven’t learned claims, do so. • Deprecating .asmx web services

when should you choose a sp solution• Access to full SP object model• Administrative functions or extensions• Require Scope above web• Custom Site Definitions, Themes, Delegate controls,

action groups, User Controls• OAuth is not an option

New List designer

SEARCH
