The Microsoft SharePoint 2013 app model does not support running server-side code within the SharePoint host environment. As a result, SharePoint developers cannot utilize the server-side API in apps. Instead, app developers must use the client-side API, which consists of the Client-Side Object Model (CSOM) and the Representational State Transfer (REST) API.
When developing apps, CSOM and the REST API can be programmed by using either C# or JavaScript. C# is used in remote webs associated with provider-hosted or autohosted apps.
