- 14. Why now? What has changed?
- 15. Benefits of the New App Model Better Architecture - Applications running outside of SharePoint Speeds up SharePoint Makes it more stable Easy access to data and services Connect through web services Easy end user customization – just install an app Easier migration No need to rewrite applications Easier development Communication through web service code
- 17. Access to data and services and data
- 18. Just another API – or a few
- 21. User Experience HTML5 CSS3 JavaScript JQuery MVC Views BYO JavaScript Library/Framework Silverlight on Mobile
- 22. Office App Store (https://store.office.com/)

Editor's Notes
- #6: But if you haven’t, I will show you around in a few minutes.
- #7: More than 80% of Fortune 500 companies. On the chart: statistics from CareerBuilder for the North Carolina Triangle area – in the last 12 months
- #9: Team sites, Project sites, Public sites, BI sites – not your grandfather’s SharePoint
- #10: Let’s see an example
- #11: What’s involved: Edit agenda items, share and collaborate on documents, upload attachments, approve and publish agenda, manage meetings, members and committees, archive, search. Great candidate for a SharePoint solution.
- #12: Multi-tier ASP.NET 2.0 web forms, SQL server stored procedures Lot of very similar screens, stored procedures, security checking. Too much time spent on “plumbing”.
- #13: Utilizing the SharePoint platform I need to write only a little code, and I can focus on the business logic.
- #14: Before, it was done by SharePoint Developers – required a deep knowledge of XML, XSLT, CAML query, (Silverlight). Development was limited to the platform what the current version of SP was on. Not anymore.
- #16: Let see it in more details!
