Episode 004 Developer Panel Discussion

At the European SharePoint Conference in May 2014 in Barcelona, Jeremy Thake caught up with Bill Ayers to talk about how developers are having to evolve with the JavaScript skill sets that are evolving. They had a deep discussion about keeping up with all the frameworks available, which led into a great discussion around CSOM and REST APIs in SharePoint. They followed this by talking about some considerations related to how to handle Office 365 updates, specifically around taking dependencies on the HTML DOM. The podcast wraps up with a discussion around mobile application development on top of Office 365.

At the European SharePoint Conference in May 2014 in Barcelona, Jeremy Thake caught up with Radi Atanassov about why OAuth is important to developers in the new App Model.
In SharePoint 2013, the OAuth authentication and authorization flow for apps involves a series of interactions between your app, SharePoint 2013, the authorization server, and the end user at runtime. The authorization server in this scenario is Windows Azure Access Control Service (ACS).
