3. THE NEW WAY TO
WORK TOGETHER

4. Share

7. Web Standards
Scalable and Safe
Accessible

8. Packaging and deployment options in
SPS 2013
New!

9. Why SharePoint 2013 apps?
• End users => consumerization through app catalogs
• IT Pro => keep SharePoint environment stable
• Developers => reuse existing skills sets
Apps are an alternative deployment but farm solutions might
still be valid

10. Apps – three possible scenarios
Developer-Hosted App
Cloud-based “Bring your own server hosting SharePoint Your Hosted
Apps infrastructure” Web Site
Developers will need to isolate
Get remote tenants
events from
SharePoint Azure Auto-
Use CSOM/REST Provisioned App SharePoint Azure
+ Windows Azure + SQL Azure
OAuth to work provisioned invisibly as apps Web
with SPS are installed
SharePoint-hosted App
Parent
Provision an isolated sub web
on a parent web Web
• Reuse web elements App Web
(lists, files, out-of-box web
parts)
• No server code allowed;
use client JavaScript for
logic, UX

11. SharePoint 2013 app development
scenarios

12.  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

13.  Apps connect to SharePoint using
 SharePoint 2013 Client Side Object Model (CSOM)
 SharePoint 2013 REST API
 Javascript cross-domain library (SP.RequestExecutor.js)
 Main investments in 2013
 Client.svc is extended with REST capabilities
 Easier for javascript and non .NET code
 Implemented in accordance with oData protocol
 Programming style is largely unchanged
 New APIs for SharePoint Server functionality
 User Profiles, Search, Taxonomy, Feeds, ....

14. • CSOM URLs can go through _api folder
• Replace
http://sharepoint/_vti_bin/client.svc/web
• With
http://sharepoint/_api/web
• Example REST URLs targeting SharePoint sites
• _api/web/lists
• _api/web/lists/List1
• _api/web/?$select=title,id
• /_api/web/lists/getByTitle('Consultants')/Items
• ....

15.  Immersive App - app is shown full screen
with in a separate page
 Part - App is shown as a part on the
SharePoint page – similar experience to
web part
 UI Custom Actions – possible to make
the App available through ribbon or
menu actions for documents and items
See Apps for SharePoint UX design guidelines

17. Guidance about apps
• Use apps whenever you can
• Use apps for decoupling scenario based business
applications
• SharePoint hosted apps for small reusable standalone applications (stock tickers,
RSS feeds, ...)
• Provider hosted for large corporate business applications (time registration,
budgetting, ...)
• Azure auto-hosted apps for public marketplace large scale applications
• Avoid apps for tight UI and feature integration
• Use farm level solutions for administrative interfaces
