INTRODUCING APPS FOR OFFICE

INTRODUCING APPS FOR OFFICE

Office 2013, and Office 365, introduce a new app model that allows you to build, deploy and monetize apps that extend the capabilities of Office. This new app model gives developers to use the same code base to extend the locally installed, mobile and cloud-based versions of the product. In addition, you can create apps using almost any web programming technology, including HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

By extending Office, you have the ability to introduce your custom functionality and capabilities into the products your users are already using. Also, because this capability is based on common web technologies, you can use the same skills you've learned building web pages and apply them to your apps.
