AGENDA: Designing Applications in SharePoint Strategic choices No Code solutions Examples

Developing Application in SharePoint 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.

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!

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 HTTP methods GET, POST, PUT and DELETE to 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.)
