Hi Folks,
I'm creating a (relatively) simple web application and I'm using 2010 because my end users have 2010, and if they ever need to download/maintain the application, then all will be well.
However, SharePoint Online is a 2013 environment, and more to the point, uses SQL Server instead of SharePoint lists. Now, SQL Server is my innermost comfort zone, and assuming that I can see the database, then I'd be a happy camper. Question: can I see the underlying database?
A bigger question is this, regarding 2013 and 2010: is there any real difference between the two platforms from the developer's viewpoint?
I mean, you're still doing desktop development of what is eventually going to get published to a SharePoint environment. I've read the Discontinued features and modified functionality in Access 2013 and I couldn't really see any significant difference.
The biggest question is this: is there any value in setting up a 2013 development environment and migrating the application to Access 2013?
What are your opinions regarding 2013? Both Access 2013 and the SharePoint 2013 Online environment? Like it? Hate it? Don't see any difference?
Cheers,
Donna
