Developing Office 365 Cloud Business Apps
2 days agoHi Bruce,
Cloud Business Apps ARE SharePoint Apps. So yes, SharePoint is required. However you can deploy to either Office 365 or an on-premises SharePoint 2013 server.
And NO. LightSwitch is still very much part of Visual Studio and does not require SharePoint. We just released a ton of new features for both project types around the HTML client. Please make sure you check out the latest tools here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lightswitch/archive/2014/03/03/office-developer-tools-for-visual-studio-2013-march-2014-update.aspx
Developing Office 365 Cloud Business Apps
Apr 07, 2014 at 3:05 PMHi Jason,
Yes the Silverlight client has some perf issues you should be aware of. If you haven't seen it, check this out: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rmattsampson/archive/2012/12/28/lightswitch-performance-tweaks-anyone-can-do.aspx
We did optimize what's sent down the wire in VS2013:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2013/10/09/lightswitch-performance-win-in-visual-studio-2013.aspx
And we also did address a bunch of design-time perf in the March tools update so make sure you have that installed. http://aka.ms/officedevtoolsforvs2013
Going forward we're seeing customers ask for mobile and better business & data services support so this is why have been working on HTML5 and Office 365. I should mention that the above talk was really well received at BUILD.
Thanks all that came! It was a really fun session.
HTH,

Developing Office 365 Cloud Business Apps
Apr 07, 2014 at 10:19 AMJason, don't shoot yourself in the face, that leaves a messy keyboard.
And to be clear, I only made statements about LightSwitch in that podcast. We have been focusing on HTML client and Office 365 for a couple years now. We will support the Silverlight client as long as Silverlight itself is supported, but our innovation will happen in the HTML & Office365 going forward.
Cheers,

Walkthrough of a Real-World LightSwitch Application used at Microsoft
Mar 18, 2011 at 9:16 AMHi guys,
glad you liked the video. @Chris, once the video goes into a screencast it is full size. I recommend watching the High Quality WMV (link is on the right) if you want to see the code better. BTW, I watched it on my Windows Phone 7 last night and it looked great.
As for the code, I plan on getting Sheel to upload the custom control report builder and the Excel importer as a sample. We'll be working on getting those plus a couple more full-blown apps onto the new Samples Gallery next week. I'll come back and post a link here when they are online. For now, check out the new course manager sample here: http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/lightswitch/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=5531
Cheers,
-Beth
