What/Why is SharePoint and use of it?
- SharePoint is browser based collaboration/web platform. You can access it from anywhere.
- Enterprise Content management

- REST API: Through REST API, we can interact directly with SharePoint objects by using any technology that support REST web request and can be easily perform CRUD operations.

Software and hardware
boundaries:
We should have basic understanding about on SharePoint
software and hardware requirements before proceeding with the SharePoint. This
helps us to decide whether to go with SharePoint
or not.
Example:
Migrate.net application project to SharePoint 2010/2013?
Before proceed to go with the migration, we should think
about whether it really supports or not. For that it's better to have an idea about on the
software/hardware boundaries. Let's say
SharePoint 2010 supports .Net framework 3.5 but they have used .Net framework 4.0/4.5 framework to develop
the project. in this case SharePoint won't support it and migration is not
possible.
Note:
SharePoint always supports backward compatibility.
