There are several methods to customize SharePoint. Developers have the option of creating new cloud applications for SharePoint or maintaining legacy full trust code. Coupled with the complexity many organizations have in terms of managing SharePoint customizations across Office 365 and on-premises implementations, developers and solution architects will need to understand how to adjust application lifecycle management (ALM) techniques to support and deploy quality solutions. This session will focus on the establishment of development, testing and deployment best practices for on-prem and cloud applications and solutions. We, too, will include concepts such as continuous integration, release management and automated testing.

6. 2003 – What is an Application?
SharePoint was not an Application Platform, except Web Parts
Investments were in MOSTLY portals and content
2007 – Everything is an Application!
Push to embrace SharePoint for LOB applications
Custom server side code
2010 – Choose the right Application
SharePoint and Developer Tools come together
Silverlight, CSOM and other new capabilities
Partially trusted code reduces impact and risk to farm
2013 – Redefine Application as App
Client side experience via HTML or iFrame
Leverage CSOM and REST APIs from Azure and other clients
Investments in App discovery and Management via SharePoint store
Deployments
2013 2010 2007

9. No custom code on the SharePoint server
Reduces the ramp time for building Apps
Leverage hosting platform features in new Apps
Isolation – Private vs. Public clouds

Tightly coupled
SharePoint customizations
Upgrade Upgrade Upgrade Upgrade
Specific upgrade project each time new version is introduced
Customizations have to be upgraded to get access on new capabilities in product
Will cause additional costs during each release cycle of customizations
Customization updates cause downtime each time something is changed
ComplexALM processes for ensuring quality of the code

27. Evergreen and release cycle – NEW model
SP2013
Loosly coupled
SharePoint customizations
O16 O17 O18
Development
You choose when and how applications are updated...
Backwards compatibility forAPI level to move customizations cross versions
Customizations don’t block new capabilities from SharePoint
Customizations extend, not change SharePoint
Customizations can be updated with minimal impact on SharePoint
Customizations will utilize services from
SharePoint and other services, but won’t
usually change out of the box services.
