It's only been a short period of time since the "new" Office 365 launched. Since the first time we gave this presentation, the decision whether to look toward Office 365 to support your SharePoint Needs compared to hosted solutions, or keeping your server farm intact on-premises.Microsoft has solidified it's approach to the cloud, and removed most doubt for the future. Whether you’re a business owner, IT professional or consultant, this movement is at odds with how SharePoint has grown over the last 10 years (yes, including 2003). We’ll take a look at the value SharePoint Online may provide, the new paradigms of development and maintenance, and the possible benefits to your organization.

Development Approaches
30. 30
• Custom Functionality – Sandbox solution
Existing farm solutions will not migrate
• No Visibility in Upgrades
Microsoft can change classes unexpectedly
• Expectation Setting
We are dependent on Microsoft for classes
we don’t add ourselves for styling and
functionality
• Forward Thinking
Expect that front end development using
javascript and jquery will be a more viable
path moving forward
