The Evolution of Applications

#SPC294

SharePoint Application Evolution 2003 – What is an Application?

SharePoint was not an Application Platform, except web parts Investments were in portals and content

2007 – Everything is an Application! Push to embrace SharePoint for LOB applications Experience was to write custom server side code

2010 – Choose the right Application SharePoint and Developer Tools come together Silverlight, CSOM and other new capabilities Partially trusted code reduces impact and risk to farm

2013 – Redefine Application as App… Client side experience via html or iFrame Leverage CSOM and REST APIs from Azure and other clients Investments in app discovery and management via SharePoint store
