Are you tired of carrying a server on your back? If your laptop is running SharePoint, it’s probably very heavy. A lot of SharePoint developers today are running a SharePoint Server on a local machine. For consultants and others, it’s normally a laptop – a very big one. And with the increased resource needs of SharePoint 2013, it would get bigger, unless you’re using the App Model for remote development. SharePoint Development with the App Model for SharePoint 2013 lowers the barriers of entry for developers new to SharePoint. It also has benefits if you’re a current SharePoint Developer. If you’d like to learn how you can take advantage of resources available in the Rackspace Open cloud today to lighten your load, please register and attend this session from a seasoned SharePoint Developer and cloud advocate. You will learn how you can write and test App Model code directly from your desktop. The demo will be shown from Windows 8 to a Rackspace Free Trial SharePoint 2013 tenant, but the same practices apply to paid SharePoint 2013 tenant accounts and on-premises or other dedicated SharePoint installations.
