About Me
“SharePoint 2013 App Model Succinctly”SharePoint 2013 App Model Succinctly is a hands-on approach to
learning how to develop SharePoint apps.
Author Fabio Franzini introduces readers to the concepts that make
SharePoint 2013 simpler and easier to use than previous development
models.
You’ll learn to develop both on-premises and cloud applications in
Visual Studio 2013, then enable your apps to communicate with
SharePoint using the client-side object model (CSOM) or the
representational state transfer (REST) API

New App Model
• Apps no longer live in SharePoint• Reduces the ramp-up time for those building apps (Don’t need to know/be as familiar with SharePoint “-isms”)
• Custom code executes in the client, cloud or on-premise• Easier to upgrade to future versions of SharePoint
• Works in hosted environments w/o limitations
• Apps communicate with SharePoint via REST / CSOM
• Apps are granted permissions to SharePoint via OAuth
• Acquire apps via centralized Marketplace
• Some Examples http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/officeapps
Kinds of Apps
Provision an Isolated sub web
on a parent web
Reuse web elements
(lists, files, out-of-box web
parts)
No server code allowed; use
client JavaScript for logic, UX
Server side code allowed
Any web stack allowed
Windows Azure + SQL Azure
provisioned invisibly as apps are
installed
JavaScript
Library
Silverlight

.Net CLR

REST URLs in SharePoint 2013
• CSOM URLS can go through _api folder
• Simplifies URLs that need to be built
• Removes client.svc file name from URL
• You can replace this URLhttp://contososerver/_vti_bin/client.svc/web
• With this URLhttp://contososerver/_api/web
Mapping Objects to Resources
• Example REST URLs targeting SharePoint sites
• _api/web/lists
• _api/web/lists/getByTitle('Announcements')
• _api/web/getAvailableWebTemplates(lcid=1033)
REST Query from Managed Code
• Use the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse objects
• Query XML using XDocument.Descendants
REST Query Using JavaScript & jQuery
Office 365 «LIMITATIONS»
• FARM SOLUTIONS: NO!• No server-side object model• No feature receivers• No timer jobs• No event receivers• No custom fields• No site definitions• No custom web parts
• SANDBOX SOLUTIONS: YES, partially …• We cannot use code in Sandbox solutions
• APPS: YES!• This is the suggested model

Web parts App parts
Event receivers Remote event receivers
Application pages Pages in Provider-Hosted Apps

Custom fields Client Side Rendering templates
Custom user controls App parts, Javascript in page
Custom ribbon controls/custom actions The same, but with Apps pages/Javascript scripts
Timer jobs Scheduled processes in Azure
Branding solutions The same, but without server-side code
