DEVELOPMENT CHANGES:
 SharePoint 2010 Introduced Sandbox
solutions to help developers deploy
code that did not effect the whole
farm.
 In SharePoint 2010 you could use
Server Object model and Client
Object model (.NET Managed,
ECMASCRIPT and Silverlight) to
extract data from SharePoint.
 In SharePoint 2010 developers were
also developing Farm solutions as
they did with the previous SharePoint
2007 version.
DEVELOPMENT CHANGES:
 In SharePoint 2013 Microsoft Introduced a new Cloud
App Model for designing Apps for SharePoint. Apps for
SharePoint are self-contained pieces of functionality that
extend the capabilities of a SharePoint website. You can
use HTML, CSS, JavaScript and protocols like the Open
Data protocol (OData), and OAuth to communicate with
SharePoint using Apps.
 Tools – SharePoint 2013 has Introduced new Tools for
App development. Visual Studio 2012 now lets you
develop apps for SharePoint and apps for Office. In
addition a new web-based tools called “Napa” Office
365 Development Tools were introduced for developing
apps.
 No more Sandbox solutions. SharePoint 2013 sandboxed
solutions are deprecated. So all we got is the New App
model and the Old SharePoint Farm solutions.
