Looking through all the latest books and articles, I notice sections on how to use WebParts but few articles on how to create them in SharePoint 2013.
I don’t think they’ve gone away. Don’t most installations have to convert existing web parts when they upgrade?
Have Apps totally replaced WebParts?
What gives? I know in our conversions, I’m having to wrestle with webparts. The EditorPart has necessitated a serious amount of upgrade logic. Also I have been having trouble with the WebPart Load Event. I’ve been moving most of my properties into the properties of the .webpart.
Any thoughts. Where did I miss the bus?
Nothing has really changed in how to develop them. The developer guides from 2010 will work just fine for 2013. Also, server-side code is becoming a bit passé with the introduction of the app model and improved support for CSOM/REST.
