When looking to extend SharePoint, you need to consider all
options from farm solutions, sandboxed solutions to different
types of apps. This is true across the product… many times
you have lots of options on who to achieve something, but
no “best” option. The best you can do is to make sure you are
well educated and prepared for all options so you can make
the most informed decision possible.

Unlike Web Parts, App Parts were
not designed to participate in App
Part to App Part communication.
SharePoint 2013 just adds OAuth support to
authenticate SharePoint apps, it does not use
OAuth to authenticate users. However, when
using OAuth from a SharePoint app, you can
also check a user’s permissions (perform
authorization).

Common Tasks
Creating, administering a site
Creating a Web part
Data (e.g. List) Programming
SharePoint-Hosted App
Content types, site columns, etc.
Branding & Theming
The “tip” I most frequently use is getting the
list through the URL instead of the title. It’s a
pain to get right the first time but once you do
it you’ve got a stable way to access a list (since
title can change) and it’s more performant
since SharePoint doesn’t have to load the
collection of lists up. However, it’s not
supported in the CSOM or REST (without a
second call)
