It has been some time since SharePoint 2013 came out bringing us the new App Model. There is a nice number of Apps in the Office store already and it seems to me that this model is starting to catch up among us developers.
For me it is simply great, especially in the SharePoint Online. What are your experiances and how do you like the new App model?
Seems people here like the Apps model as of my comment. In my humble opinion, I don’t like such a model because it’s a bit more complicated. You may know of one of the capabilities such as client-side object model and non-impaction at the server side. Well, that’s the ultimate principle in SharePoint 2013. I’ve been working on a few SharePoint 2013 development projects and realize that even it’s a bit easier to make the app but it as well has some constraints in some cases in which the security and performance get taken into consideration. Nobody can admit that putting your app on the cloud is faster or securer than the one developed as a WSP solution typically. Another thing came up is the accessibility through app.
At the end of the day, once you get your hands dirty on SharePoint 2013 project, you will probably realize how complex the new model is. Of course, that’s not at all, just a few case. I would love to discuss and learn more about the new architecture of the model.
