Build Secure Cloud-Hosted Apps for SharePoint 2013 with Danny Jessee

Apps for SharePoint were introduced in SharePoint 2013 to maximize the level of capability and flexibility that developers can deliver without risking compromise to the farm. In this demo-intensive session, we will delve into apps that leverage resources running outside the SharePoint farm—whether in another on-premises web server or in the cloud. We will use server-side and client-side code to demonstrate how cloud-hosted apps can securely access data stored in SharePoint using the client object model (CSOM/JSOM) and REST APIs, along with the pros and cons associated with each approach. We will discuss the various permissions models associated with apps for SharePoint including types of app permissions, permission request scopes, and how app developers can manage permissions. We will conclude by building and provisioning a real-world app for SharePoint to Office 365.
