  4. Industry Paradigm Shift:The App Model Apps Change the way we Architect Solutions Focal Point: User Experience Office and SharePoint use Apps to tackle “micro-problems” There’s an App for that!

  5. Solution Architecture: Then and Now THEN: Monolithic Solutions NOW: App Solutions Focus is User Experience Minimal IT involvement Transparent upgrades Plethora of tools Rapid build and deployment Server-side code still available for compute-intensive needs • Reliance on server-side code • Heavy reliance on IT support • Service interruptions during upgrades • Limited tooling • Longer time-to-market

  6. The Focus is Placed Squarely on User Experience • When you build an App you build the User Experience first • When we design solutions, we always aim to solve User Experience problems • Apps target the snarky “micro-problems” in day-to-day business • Apps will help us avoid time-consuming, error-prone work-arounds • Apps will lead to increased productivity and make work more fun Apps target key UX pains Client-side development improves UX Apps leverage powerful Office toolkit

  7. Lowers IT Burden • Using the client-side APIs for SharePoint and Office removes the need for server-side intervention • Upgrades are completely transparent to the user • Apps can be distributed either through the Office Store or via your Corporate Catalog • Even developers can work exclusively in the browser No maintenance windows No upgrade windows Self-service App distribution Governed App distribution

  8. Emerging Trends Micro-tools Tighter Platform Integration Closure of the 80/20 Gap

  9. Closing the Feature Gap • Food for thought… • Blend content between Office and SharePoint • Present on-prem and Cloud resources seamlessly in one interface • Eliminate data entry • Copy, share, and archive • Contextualize SharePoint does everything I need, except… If I could just do… Why can’t I see my tasks in this email too?

  10. Technology and Tools My Development Toolkit The App Office 2013 & Office 365 Visual Studio 2012

  11. My Development Toolkit • SharePoint Server 2013 Apps: • On-prem or in the Cloud • Microsoft provides full online development experience via “Napa” Preview Release Windows Server 2012 SharePoint Server 2013 Office 2013 & Office 365 Visual Studio 2012 *Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012 *Web Platform Installer (delivery platform)

  12. What Is The App App Manifest File <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <App xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/2012/app/manifest (http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/2012/app/manifest)" ProductID="{5eccee90-1e41-4ecc-af8c-485facb5c188}" Version="1.0.0.0" SharePointMinVersion="15.0.0.0" Name="LocalTheater" > <Properties> <Title>Local Theater</Title> <StartPage>https://localhost:44303/Default.aspx/?{StandardTokens}</StartPage> </Properties> <AppPrincipal> <RemoteWebApplicationClientId="ca81d876-8525-44a8-8a60-e02ee79a4a6e" /> </AppPrincipal> </App> App Manifest XML File Created by Visual Studio 2012and automatically deployed to SharePoint 2013 Tells SharePoint where your App content resides App Implementation HTML5, JavaScript, ASP.NET, PHP, Apps can be implemented with any web development language Cross-Platform is the point

  13. Hosting and Infrastructure Provider-hosted Autohosted SharePoint-hosted

  14. Apps are Hosted Provider-hosted model You host, or IT hosts Server-side code in whatever language you want Autohosted model Automatically deployed to Azure Server-side code supported by Azure SharePoint-hosted model HTML & JavaScript only Hosted in a SharePoint app web No server-side code

  15. Authorization • OAuth is an open authorization protocol, it’s not a security library • Visual Studio creates a TokenHelper • Cross-domain library is implemented in SP.RequestExecutor.js // Load the js file and continue to the // success event handler. $.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", execCrossDomainRequest); Provider-hosted model Client-side code / cross-domain library Server-side code w/ OAuth Autohosted model Same as provider-hosted SharePoint-hosted model HTML & JavaScript Authorization handled automatically
