Apps for the Cloud

Build Apps Web Standards

Apps are built using industry proven web
standards such as HTML, JavaScript and
REST

Scalable and Safe
Apps are independently scalable which
reduces total cost of ownership. Apps are
secured and isolated from SharePoint

Accessible
Apps can be accessed from any device with
a web browser.

Apps for the Cloud

Build Sites Accelerate Site Creation

Sites can be customized and themed with
apps or a few clicks in the browser.

Simple Site Customization
SharePoint sites are built using web
standards making it easy to customize with
industry standard web design tools

Adaptive Experiences

Sites can adapt their experiences based on
the user.

Challenges today with SharePoint 2010

 Custom code on server
 Root cause of most SharePoint outages / issues
 Lots to deploy
 Requires a big server touch
 Not possible in hosted environments
 Sandbox
 Possible in hosted environment
 Limited set of things you can do
 In both, developers must know SharePoint API

SharePoint App Model

 SharePoint applications no longer live in SharePoint
 Custom code executes in the client, cloud or on-prem
 Apps are granted permissions to SharePoint via OAuth
 Apps communicate with SharePoint via REST / CSOM
 Acquire apps via centralized Marketplace
 Corporate Marketplace
 Public Marketplace (via submission process)
 APIs for manual deployment

App Fundamentals

 Apps are a very different philosophical change to
extending SharePoint
 More scenario-focused
 Event Tracking
 Ticket Management System

 Robust
 Built-in robust semantics for install, upgrade & uninstall
 Apps are for End Users
 Cloud & Web-Oriented
 Apps must ask permission to do things with people’s data (are isolated
by default)
 Apps are associated with sites (SPWebs)

User Experience

 Everything in a SharePoint site is an app
 Contact form
 Travel request
 Shared Documents library
 Contacts list
 Formerly known as View All Content, the Site Contents link shows all apps in a
site & links to the SharePoint Store (public) and App Catalog (internal)
 Selecting an app redirects to the app’s start page

Benefits

 No custom code on the SharePoint server
 Easier to upgrade to future versions of SharePoint
 Works in hosted environments w/o limitations
 Reduces the ramp-up time for those building apps
 Don’t need to know/be as familiar with SharePoint “-isms”
 Leverage hosting platform features in new apps
 Enables taking SharePoint apps to different levels – further than what can be
done with farm / sandbox solutions
 Isolation – private vs. public clouds

Tech Demo Road-Map

 SPApp Project Template and Wizard
 What new project template(s) are there
 What does the project wizard look like and do
 What does the initial solution/project look like/contain

 SPApp Deployment and Debugging
 What happens when I use the “Deploy” command

 Remote Event Receiver (What….????)
 Describe the new remote event receiver artifact, item template and what occurs when one is added to the
project

Apps! Mobile

Mobile

Custom List
REST & OData Queries Push Notifications
Entire CSOM Build views of data Microsoft Push
utilizes new REST on the fly and the Notification
calls to perform a REST services Service (MPNS) for
much more return the Windows Phone
complete set of customized JSON / OS
actions ATOM results

REST & ODATA

REST
Simpler and Easier to Use
Much easier to use than SOAP-based web service
Higher productivity when using JavaScript and Jquery
Results can be returned in JSON and ATOM format

Each Query is submitted with a unique URL
Results can be cached by proxy servers

ODATA
The new data access API for HTTP-Based Clients
Based on open specification growing in popularity
Standardizes Data Access APIs for CRUD operations
OData services are emerging on the Internet (NetFlix, Azure, etc.)
OData clients becoming more popular as well

Custom List Queries

Configure list views on the server for use in Windows Phone apps

Not possible / practical to create all views in SharePoint, for Mobile apps

Modification of existing views already designed in SharePoint

Creation of “on-the-fly” views suited just for mobile application needs

Push Notifications

SharePoint integrated to Microsoft Push Notification Service

Windows Phone apps can receive notifications through events on SharePoint

Similar to Windows 8 development around Push Notifications

Available for Windows Phone And Windows 8 RT! (Toast and Tile)

Geo-location Field
New field type but not
available through
OOTB GUI 

You must write code
to deploy a Geo-
location Field

Pull list data into Bing
(or other) Map
Providers

Support for GIS
application needs

Managed Metadata and Navigation

 What’s New with MMD?
• Editable via Datasheet View
• Term Pinning
• Global and Local Term Sets
• “Limit To List”
• Additional Multilingual support

 What’s New with Navigation?
• Managed Navigation – use MMD terms to provide custom nav.
• Friendly URLs

 Content Search Web Part (not CQWP)

Site Publishing and Authoring

 Authoring and reusing site content.
 Branding and designing your site's look, feel, and behavior.
 Metadata management—you can build a taxonomy-driven site navigation
system.
 Publishing content smoothly to the current site collection, or publishing
content across site collections—even spanning the intranet and Internet site
boundary.

Site Retention Policies

Cross-Site Publishing

 Reuse content across multiple site collections
 Uses built-in search capabilities
 For the first time, you can design sites that cross SharePoint farms
 enabling your sites to span the boundary between intranets and the Internet
 You can use the CSWP (Content Search Web Part) to display search data
published from across sites and site collections.

Snippet Gallery

 Snippet Gallery group on the ribbon
 HTML snippet gives you a high-fidelity preview of that component
 HTML snippets are automatically converted into the SharePoint components
 The Design Manager generates HTML snippets that can be used by any web
design tool
