Over the last few months there have been three different hot topics in the SharePoint world. SharePoint and Yammer integration, the decision to retire some of the existing certification paths and the new development model. If I wanted to highlight one of them, I would highlight the new development model.

David Martos

As a developer who has been working with SharePoint for nearly 10 years, it has been hard to accommodate for such a big change. As many others I can see the benefits, but also as many others I feel we are not yet ready for what Microsoft is pushing us to do, especially because of the lack of documentation. People that started working on the sandbox solutions when they appeared (and were the suggested development model) with SharePoint 2010 are now scared by the fact they have been now deprecated. Well, they have been only deprecated when it comes to user code, as you can see detailed here.

d to be careful because just a few years ago the sandbox was the future and now it doesn’t look like something you should be investing on. Nobody knows what will be the next accepted development model.
