We are in a world of apps - yes you guessed it right Im talking about the stuff like Android apps , Iphone apps etc. After reading SharePoint 13 preview in Technet - I think SharePoint is also moving towards the App culture..
Architects/Developers like me have been building server-side farm solutions that extend core SharePoint capabilities right from SharePoint 2003 (Im not sure wht was there prior to SPS2003). New SharePoint offers a new flexible development model that creates apps for SharePoint that take advantage of standard web technologies like JavaScript, OAuth, and OData.
I believe the new app for SharePoint development model will extend the ability to build apps that take advantage of SharePoint capabilities and that run in the cloud instead of on our SharePoint farm. This flexible development model, along with the integration of standard web technologies, makes SharePoint development work more like other kinds of web development that we are already be doing. This change in philosophy would help the enterprises and users to discover, purchase and install sharepoint solutions quick and easy. The group benefited most out of this approach change is the solution providers who can simplify market and sell their solutions thru an app store - not necessarily Microsoft app store.
SharePoint Apps going to use the SharePoint client side techniques or REST to access SP entities and data. App for sharepoint cannot contain custom code that runs on Server and cannot call server object model APIs. In a nutshell App are for end users not for Admins.
The related major change we are seeing in SP13 preview is - deprecation of Sand-boxed solution (introduced in SP2010 - it was helping the site collection admins to manage solution of their own without touching farm servers)..
