Application Lifecycle Management in SharePoint 2013 & Office 365

There are several methods to customize SharePoint. Developers have the option of creating new cloud applications for SharePoint or maintaining legacy full trust code. Coupled with the complexity many organizations have in terms of managing SharePoint customization across Office 365 and on-premises implementations, developers and solution architects will need to understand how to adjust application lifecycle management (ALM) techniques to support and deploy quality solutions.

This series of blog posts will focus on the establishment of development, testing and deployment best practices for on-premise and cloud applications and solutions. This will also include concepts such as continuous integration, release management and automated testing.

SharePoint 2013 Client-side rendering templates

Client-side rendering is a new concept in SharePoint 2013. It’s provides you with a mechanism that allow you to use your own output render for a set of controls that are hosted in a SharePoint page (list views, display, add and Edit forms). This mechanism enables you to use well-known technologies, such as HTML and JavaScript, to define the rendering logic of custom and predefined field types.

I upload some code samples to MSDN code gallery and I wrote those samples to be easy to understand and to achieve learning purpose, because of that I avoided using complex code and controls. In the same time I tried to be close to the real word examples.
