RTM’d today: Microsoft SharePoint 2013 App Development

cover for Microsoft SharePoint 2013 App DevelopmentWe’re very pleased to announce that Scot Hillier and Ted Pattison’s book, Microsoft SharePoint 2013 App Development  has shipped to the printer!

Take advantage of the most important new concept in Microsoft SharePoint 2013--the app. Led by two SharePoint experts and MVPs, you’ll learn development techniques such as building app lists, creating event handlers, and the major classes in the object model that provide access to content stored in SharePoint.

You’ll get expert guidance on how to develop SharePoint-hosted apps and cloud-hosted apps, adopt the new patterns for app development, build maintainable apps with the MVVM and MVC patterns, utilize the client-side object model (CSOM) and the REST API in your apps, and authenticate and establish app identity using OAuth and server-to-server (S2S) trusts.

There are also code samples you can access on the Web. Scot and Ted’s book will be available via online retailers the end of January. In the meantime, here’s more information about the book.
