SharePoint Conference 2014 session “Developing future-focused, on-premises solutions” by Bob German. This session will focus on how to develop on-premises solutions based on architecture patterns that will support migration to Office 365 in the future. These solutions are based on a shift to client-side development to allow repackaging rather than rewriting to enable the new App model. The result is code that is safer and easier to deploy, whether on-premises or in the cloud.

HTML5 and CSS3 are now a standard part of the Office and SharePoint developer’s skillset. While much of the buzz around HTML5 and CSS3 focuses on creating a responsive and satisfying end-user experience, a whole new set of JavaScript APIs was also introduced. These APIs provide powerful capabilities that either didn’t exist before, or were only available in 3rd-party libraries. In this session, we’ll focus on these new APIs and use them to solve real-world problems such as maintaining context in a SharePoint-hosted app, caching app data, and communicating between app parts.

This session will focus in deep detail on one top 10 business scenario and showcase how it can be enabled with apps for Office. We will review the business scenario, the architectural considerations to enable this scenario in Windows Azure and apps for Office, as well as delving into the code behind the solution. Expect to see a lot and have experts available to you to answer any of your questions and concerns.
