Looks like there are couple of new things introduced in SP2013 for development. On a high level the following are the development options available
- SharePoint Apps
- Mobile Apps
- Reusable components
- Classic farm solutions
- Publishing sites
- SharePoint Apps: Like ITunes apps, Android apps - SharePoint also introduce a new development option to develop stand alone solution having less features bundled together, installs/uninstalls easily. The new feature called corporate app catalogue would be the enterprise wide repository for apps and privileged information workers will be able to find and use it in their sharepoint sites. Per Microsoft Apps never runs on SharePoint servers - its logic always stays in cloud. Will share more details soon. I believe the components like lists, content types, custom pages, web parts, workflow will be right fit for apps.see my related post on app culture
- Mobile Apps : SP2013 introduce a client API for Windows phones, it can access SharePoint web sites and data. androids, i phones can use REST/OData end points for the same.
- Reusable components : Microsoft claims VS2012 and SP2013 together can help developers to encapsulate and reuse app elements like code, script, markups etc.
- Classic farm solution : Same old WSP based solutions that utilizes server object model code to perform admin tasks like timer jobs.
- Publishing Sites: SharePoint publishing sites provide large-scale content publishing with a high degree of maintainability and regulation compliance. They also provide management of documents, records, taxonomy, and content types.
