We can define an app for SharePoint as a web application registered with SharePoint via an app manifest or SharePoint’s capabilities extended by an independent piece of functionality. Approach for extending SharePoint by the new App Model is the basic for apps in SharePoint 2013.

Developer approach, custom code, sandboxed solutions, web standards and identity management were major issues in previous development models.

 * Microsoft has introduced the new App Model with web standards like HTML 5, CSS, JavaScript, OData, OAuth and REST to address these issues.
 * Facebook has similar dev. model and this approach can enable Microsoft to gain millions of potential developers who works on these technologies.

To resolve the issues related with sandboxed solutions and farm solutions, they implemented SharePoint box with ‘no server – side code’ approach. According to this you can callback SharePoint through OData remote API from a remote box that runs your server- side code. You can use almost any programming language because OData is a standard.

Building a whole new class of apps for SharePoint 2013 is now an easy task. These apps also combine powerful web technologies and cloud services using new Cloud App Model.

 * They are easy and quick to deploy, maintain and update, because we are using the cloud to deploy and hosting.
 * Types of apps includes SharePoint hosted, provider hosted, auto hosted and hybrid (SharePoint and self-hosted) apps.

SharePoint is not exactly a real application platform; it is a collaboration platform and a portal. Azure is an actual application platform, but using them together you can create extremely reliable end – products according to your requirements.
