Entry Points for Developers in SharePoint 2013

• Server-side object model

– Managed code
– Windows PowerShell
• Client.svc
– Client-side object models
– REST/OData clients
• Declarative customizations
Lesson 2: Approaches to SharePoint Development
Declarative Components
Client-Side Code
Web Parts
Application Pages
Timer Jobs
Event Receivers
• Workflow
Declarative Components

• Use declarative components to deploy:

– Site columns
– Content types and content type bindings
– List templates and list instances
– Event registrations and custom actions
– Workflows, files, and more
• When should you use declarative components?
– Whenever you can
• Where can you use declarative components?
– SharePoint Online
– On-premises deployments
Client-Side Code

• Use client-side code to:

– Interact with core SharePoint artifacts and functionality
– Interact with SharePoint Server workloads
– Perform almost any operations within the scope of a site collection
• When should you use client-side code?
– Preferred approach when you need to programmatically interact with a
SharePoint site collection
• Where can you use client-side code?
– SharePoint Online
– On-premises deployments
Web Parts

• Use web parts to:

– Create custom functionality with user interaction
– Connect to other web parts
• When should you create web parts?
– Consider apps first
– Use web parts when you specifically want to leverage the web part
framework
• Where can you use web parts?
– SharePoint Online (sandboxed solutions only)
– On-premises deployments (farm and sandboxed solutions)
Application Pages

• Use custom application pages to:

– Expose functionality to every site in a SharePoint farm
• When should you create a custom application page?
– When there are no other options
– Consider apps first
• Where can you use custom application pages?
– On-premises deployments
• Subject to policy and administrative approval
– Not available for SharePoint Online
Timer Jobs

• Use custom timer jobs to:

– Run background tasks on a scheduled basis
– Process queues of work items on a scheduled basis
• When should you create a custom timer job?
– When you do not require user interaction
– When you want to remove logic from the page load process
• Where can you use custom timer jobs?
– On-premises deployments
• Subject to policy and administrative approval
– Not available for SharePoint Online
Event Receivers

• Use event receivers to:

– Run background tasks on a scheduled basis
– Process queues of work items on a scheduled basis
• When should you create an event receiver?
– When you do not require user interaction
– When you want to remove logic from the page load process
• Where can you use event receivers?
– On-premises deployments
– SharePoint Online
Workflow

• Use workflows to:

– Automate business processes
– Manage the flow of documents and information
• When should you create a workflow?
– When you need to capture input from multiple users
– When you need to create logic that reacts to changes in documents or
sites
• Where can you use event receivers?
– On-premises deployments
– SharePoint Online
Lesson 3: Understanding SharePoint 2013
Deployment and Execution Models
SharePoint Features
Farm Solutions
Sandboxed Solutions
• Apps for SharePoint
SharePoint Features

• Anatomy of a Feature
– Feature folder
– Feature manifest file
– Element manifests
– Element files
• Feature deployment
– Deployment to WFE server file system
– Deployment as part of SharePoint app or solution
Farm Solutions

• Anatomy of a farm solution

– Solution manifest
– Assemblies
– Files
– Features
• Capabilities are unlimited
– Deploy any server-side components
• Deployment options may be limited
– Prohibited in SharePoint Online
– May be prohibited in on-premises deployments
Sandboxed Solutions
• Structured in the same way as a farm solution
• Deployed to a Solutions Gallery
• Scoped to a site collection
• Functionality is constrained:
– Isolated worker process
– No access to server-side file system
– Limited access to SharePoint object model

• Resource consumption governed by quota system

• Apps for SharePoint are now the preferred approach
Apps for SharePoint
• Distribution
– Publish to App Catalog
– Publish to Office Marketplace

• Encapsulation
– No server-side code
– All SharePoint artifacts hosted within app web

• Development models
– SharePoint-hosted
– Remote-hosted

• Interaction
– Full page
– App part
– Command extensions
