There’s a lot of buzz nowadays about moving to Office 365 and using the App Model to extend and customize the platform. However, I know a lot of folks aren’t even considering Office 365 just yet, so I was wondering how are you developing “Apps” internally?
Are you using Full Trust Farm solutions? Or, are you starting to create Apps internally? I am guessing the decision points will be based on the fact that Farm Solutions are far quicker to develop, but harder to migrate in the future. Whereas “Apps” are slow to develop but set you up for a potential move to Office 365…
Love to hear your thoughts…
I agree with you 100% I am finding I start building some requirements for a client in a SharePoint hosted app and as is the way with Agile , they want to something that really is appropriate for on prem provider hosted, such as a taxonomy picker. It all gets so much more complicated.. Rather than wrestle with the OM , I am considering building custom pages – maybe getting apps to provision them whilst the guidance matures 😉
