The first chapter of this book covered what SharePoint 2013 is and why you should care. It also walked you through some of the basic architectural concepts and showed you some screenshots to get you familiar with the look and feel of a SharePoint site — both the SharePoint site you would interact with on a daily basis and the Administration site.

This chapter dives deeper into the new SharePoint 2013 app model, building on the discussion from Chapter 1. This chapter also walks you through a couple of how-to examples, showing you some basic development examples against the new app models.
