Microsoft about Sandboxed solutions

All future investments will go to making the new SharePoint app model richer and more powerful. Accordingly, we recommend that all new development should use the new app model whenever possible.

(Sand)boxed apps

Focus on the task at hand Use the best of two worlds

DEMO Project

Projects (Team Sites) metadataProject sitesProjects overview

SharePoint

SharePoint is perfect for this – project sites, teams, collaboration

SharePoint out-of-box

SharePoint: No project metadata, no overviewNo governance on how to call sites, where to create sites, permissionsHow to find ”my project sites" Look and feel, site templates?

Apps: we can do metadata and overview, but no project sites

Solution

Custom content type and site columnsCustom list with custom list formCode that creates sitesOverview pageSite template (standard team or project site)
