Overview of the SharePoint App Model
• Office 365 and in on-premises farms
• Code never runs in SharePoint host environment
• APIs to talk to SharePoint
• Calls have controlled authorization
• Apps can have permissions independent of user permissions
• Apps deployed to private catalogs or online Store

App Installation Scopes
• Site-Scoped Installation
– App is installed in a specific site
– App is launched from same site
– This site is known as host web
• Tenancy-Scoped Installation
– App installed > app catalog site
– App available many host webs
– Host webs access one app instance
– Centralizes app management

SharePoint App Architecture
• SharePoint-Hosted Apps
– App resources added to SharePoint host
– Stored in child site known as app web
– App can have client-side code
– App cannot have server-side code
• Cloud-Hosted Apps
– App resources deployed on remote server
– Remote site known as remote web
– App can have client-side code
– App can have server-side code

App Catalog Site
• Private / enterprise marketplace for organizations
– No certification process
– Seen only by that company
• Enables license management & gateway for app procurement
• Office 365 - 1:1 App Catalog per Tenant
• On-Premises - 1:1 + optionally have App catalog per Web Application

What is my personal opinion?
• I like the “Plumbing” … a lot
– UI - integration
– Data – Remote APIs
– Events

Don’t be cornered…
• Decouple where possible
• Don’t be a typical developer
• Light touch first, Deep only if needed
• Pragmatic, but forward thinking

Some options
today…
1. App Model on Prem (2013 only)
1. High Trust on-prem aka S2S
2. Low Trust on-prem (Hybrid only)
2. Client JavaScript whenever possible
a) WebParts
b) Pages
c) JS CSOM
3. Externalize code + Web Services
e.g. event receivers
4. Aim for Office 365 even if you aren't
moving
5. Be very vigilant on nice to have
features
DOs (at least consider)

Some options
today…
1. Use Farm Solutions by default
a) Make sure architects/developers think
b) Might be more costly, but will pay dividends
2. Tie into other systems without
considering how to loosely couple
3. Asdf
DON’Ts (at least consider)
