EVERYTHING

2. Abstract
 Everybody wants an app or at least they think so, SharePoint 2013
provides an Application Model to handle all your 'appy' desires.
 Are your current SharePoint 2007 or 2010 solutions considered truly 'self-
contained'? Probably not.

5. Cloud App Model
 Apps for SharePoint are self-contained pieces of functionality that extend
the capabilities of a SharePoint website.
 Apps integrate the best of the web and SharePoint; they are
targeted, lightweight, and easy-to-use, and do a great job at solving a
user need.
 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp179930.aspx

6. Hosting Options
 Provider-Hosted (your IT teams dedicated server)
 Autohosted (Azure Web Sites)
 For autohosted apps, SharePoint automatically deploys your app into Windows
Azure Web Sites and SQL Azure, and these apps run in the cloud. For provider-hosted
apps, you or your IT department hosts the app on a dedicated server or third-party
hosting service. These apps run on your server or in the cloud, depending on how
you choose to host your app.
 From <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp179930.aspx>
 SharePoint-Hosting
 When the app is hosted in SharePoint itself, the code is HTML and JavaScript and is
hosted by SharePoint.
 From <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp179930.aspx>

10. Architecture of the deployed app
 http://blogs.technet.com/b/mspfe/archi
ve/2013/01/31/configuring-sharepoint-
on-premise-deployments-for-apps.aspx
 Your app is no longer just a
webpart, your app is officially a 'self-
contained' solution that the developer
decides how to surface functionality to
the parent web. That is not to say that
you can only interact with your app
through the parent web.

12. UX Design for SharePoint 2013 apps
We recommend that you try to give your apps a SharePoint appearance to the
extent possible, although that is not mandatory and may not always be the
best choice. For more information about the user experience guidelines, see UX
design for apps in SharePoint 2013.
From <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp179922.aspx#AccessingApp>

13. Storing Data
You can still use SP lists just like you did with your old app.
Not too shabby for an option
30,000,000 items per list
View threshold: 5,000
Wheels fall off the wagon if your SQL DBA walks in the room and wants to use normalized
data structure.
