The SharePoint platform enables you to develop applications that have the
following features:
Scalable. SharePoint provides
an extensible framework that
allows you to add applications
and features as needed to meet
growing demands.
Collaborative. SharePoint
includes features that allow you
to create workspaces where
people share ideas, documents,
and other assets.
Content-driven. SharePoint
allows you to create and
publish content that is tailored
to your users' needs.

7. Strategic Decisions
On – Premise
Developed in Visual Studio
Hosted as Farm Solution / Provider Hosted App
Managed C# code
Issues
Held hostage by Development house
Lack Supportability
Lacks mobility to O365
Lacks upgradability
Office 365 – SharePoint Online
Developed in Napa Development Tool or Visual Studio
Hosted as Provider Hosted App / Sandbox solution
Managed C# code / SP API via REST or Javascript
Issues
Held hostage by Development house
Diminishes scalability
Security considerations
Upgrade???

8. Strategic choices
SharePoint Apps
• Provider Hosted App - By using Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012, you can
create and deploy ISV-hosted apps.
• A SharePoint-hosted app - is the easiest to create and deploy because its contents are
deployed to a single SharePoint site using HTML and Javascript!

11. REST API
REST (Representational State Transfer) is a simple stateless architecture that generally runs over HTTP.
REST involves reading a designated Web page that contains an XML file. The XML file describes and
includes the desired content.
It uses the four HTTPmethods GET, POST, PUTand DELETEto execute
different operations. REST uses HTTP for all four CRUD (Create/Read/Update/Delete) operations.
REST is a lightweight alternative to mechanisms like RPC (Remote Procedure Calls) and Web Services
(SOAP, WSDL, et al.)
