In its most basic form, an app for SharePoint is
a web application that is registered with
SharePoint using an app manifest.

apps…
• …are not executed in SharePoint App pool
• …are in most of the cases not even running on SP Server
• …can have full trust, with user’s approval (OAuth)
• …can access SharePoint Data
• …can access outer world non-SharePoint Data
• …can use any external resources
• …can be executed in it’s own chrome, as app parts, or as SharePoint
extensions
why apps
• Isolated (safe!)
• Multi-tenant
• Multiple development possibilities (even non-MS stack)
• Easier to deploy (no SharePointisms by deployment)
• Easier to maintain (lifecycle – versioning, upgrades)
• Manageable (SharePoint Marketplace, Corporate Catalog)
• Cloud ready!
Apps Examples
sp app design - a choice of three approaches
Provider-Hosted App
Cloud-based Apps
Get remote events from
SharePoint
Use CSOM/REST +
OAuth to work with SP
“Bring your own server hosting infrastructure”
Developers will need to isolate tenants
SharePoint
Web
Your Hosted Site
SharePoint Web
Azure
(from WebDeploy,
DacPac)
Azure Auto-Provisioned App
Windows Azure + SQL Azure provisioned
invisibly as apps are installed
SharePoint-hosted App
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
