Apps

There are many business scenarios and solutions that have been built on the SharePoint 2010 platform that are critical to customers. As companies, partners, and solution providers look to move to the SharePoint 2013 platform, these solutions should be reimagined to leverage the new cloud app model and apps for SharePoint. This session will deep dive into the key scenarios and techniques of migrating the most common customization patterns from SharePoint 2010 solutions to apps for SharePoint.

A ShareCamp.at Retrospective My colleague Sebastian and I arrived at ShareCamp in Vienna (Austria) at Friday evening. And it started well – we meet a lot of people very known in the German – and now Austrian Community. To name a bunch: Toni Pohl, Martina Grom, Christian Glessner, Thorsten Hans, Hans Brender, Heike Ritter - not a complete list. We had a, lets call it pre-conference party. A great start of a ShareCamp.

Thorsten Hans (@ThorstenHans) and Christian Glessner (@cglessner) showed us how to develop SharePoint Apps (SharePoint hosted, Provider hosted). Live coding Thorsten recommended to use the REST calls instead the JS client object model – they are faster and “more” future-proof. Their experience was that autohosted is a little odd, the price conditions are not very clear. So there is provider hosted (Azure) or SharePoint hosted remaining. Key takeaway I really like their sessions – zero slides sessions – good content.
