  9. Server API vs CSOM (SP2010) • Pros/Cons

  10. Development History • Originally in SP2007 this system used the Server API (no CSOM available). Required timesheet website to run on sharepoint server. • In migration to SP2010 CSOM became available. Switched to this API so timesheet not coupled to sharepoint server
