In this post, i’ll show the new appmodel for SP2013:
Start: Set up the development environment for SharePoint 2013
How to: Set up an on-premises development environment for apps for SharePoint
In SP2010, all custom code and declarative components were packaged into .wsp solution files. In SP2010 we have both farm solutions(installed on the server), and sandboxed solutions(installed in the database).'
We can still install .wsp files in SP2013, but only for backword compatibility!
Custom code in SP2013 is built using “apps” instead of a solution file. Apps for SP2013 are written with HTML and JavaScript and uses the Client Side Object Model.
There are three types of apps in SP2013:
Client-Side Apps(JavaScript)
Server-Side Apps(Cloud-hosted, ASP.NET)
Hybrid Apps(Mix of client-side and server-side).
In Visual Studio 2012 we create apps using the new Office/SharePoint template App for SharePoint 2013:
The second page in Visual Studio is how we specify the settings for the app:

A SharePoint administrator can grant access to the marketplace to allow users or administrators to use the SharePoint marketplace.
When you deploy a SharePoint hosted App to a SharePoint site you’ll see that App in that site:
