Topic: Introduction to the new SharePoint 2013 App Model for Developers

Abstract:
The new SharePoint 2013 App Model gives SharePoint developers a whole new platform to develop apps for Office and SharePoint using standard development languages, tools, and hosting services. SharePoint Apps are basically web applications that can be in any language, such as HTML, JavaScript, PHP, or .NET, using familiar web development tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio 2012, and a new web-based tool called "Napa" Office 365 Development Tools to build apps for SharePoint.

This session will be an introductory session for developers on the new app model with some live demos on how to create various types of “Apps” in the new SharePoint 2013 Preview.
