Silverlight. Sandbox Solutions. JavaScript. The Client Object Model. These are components or features that can all be leveraged by developers in an on premises SharePoint environment, as well as Microsoft’s cloud offering for SharePoint: SharePoint Online. But while these similarities provide a strong bridge between the two SharePoint worlds, there are still a lot of reasons why they’re vastly different. In on premises SharePoint environments, developers have many other appealing options to choose from that can make customization much easier and smoother than these client-side developer tools. The difference in the cloud with SharePoint Online is that developers can’t choose other easier options over Sandbox Solutions, JavaScript, or the Client Object Model. In SharePoint Online’s world it’s Microsoft’s way or the highway, and that means that software designers and developers have to approach solution design and creation in a much different manner than for on premises custom solutions.In this session John will present a comprehensive review of the tools and features available for development with SharePoint Online and then takes a closer look at their capabilities and limitations. It also explains the shift in decision making and solution design that needs to occur to turn SharePoint Online’s restrictions into opportunities, as well as looks at other available resources for development with SharePoint Online, such as Microsoft’s Azure offering or Amazon’s Cloud Services.
