Office 365 for developers

Microsoft Office 365 is a game changer for developers. Its familiar Office collaboration and productivity tools delivered through the cloud provide a compelling platform for developing complete, seamless, enterprise-class applications.

Office 365 provides for the following developer scenarios—all using the same skills, tools, and SDKs that you use in your solutions today.

• Leverage communication and collaboration services in the cloud to build custom solutions for SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, and Lync.
• Develop, debug, and deploy sandboxed solutions for SharePoint Online.
• Build workflow solutions that automate collaboration-centric business processes and surface them to your users via SharePoint Online.
• Integrate Exchange Online mailbox data such as mail, calendar, and task items into your applications.
• Use your existing developer skills to deliver integrated productivity applications with Office.
