#SPSBEND Keynote - What You Need to Know about SharePoint 2013

Editor's Notes

1. Dynamic publishing via the Design Manager. Allows you to create your images and artifacts in one place, pull them from a library to build composed looks. Image renditions allow you to customize images based on how they are consumed (multi-device channels) via device-specific master pages
2. SEO optimization, analytics processing, runs different analytics jobs to analyze content in the search index and user actions that were performed on a site to identify items that users perceive as more relevant than others.
3. In addition to expanded functionality in MySites, Microsoft has added the social communities capability to help teams interact with all of the social community tools they expect on any public platform, such as share documents, leave notes, have threaded discussions, blog, collaborate via wiki, track tasks via a project site, and so forth.
4. Deeper collaboration with SharePoint is coming, but right now you can push content from SharePoint to Yammer, and MySites have leveraged some of what Yammer has done around MySites. More to come this fall, I’m sure.

SharePoint marketplace, Private marketplaces"The new app model embraces web standards: You can develop the user experience with HTML and JavaScript, and leverage SharePoint and other REST services right from the client using JavaScript and JSON. You can even create your own REST services and provide a web hosting platform of your choice to handle complex logic and integration of data and services. The new cloud app model also takes advantage of OAuth to allow for secure communication between SharePoint and remote hosted apps and services." Familiar tools – App Model
