Introduction
In this article we explore a new template in SharePoint 2013 for the developer site templates. This site template is focused on Apps for Office development.
Developers can build, test and publish their apps here. Here you can deploy apps for SharePoint from Visual Studio 2013 to the developer site and you don't need to create an App Catalog site since the developer site template by default creates an App Catalog library. The developer template is available under the collaboration site template.
How to create a site using this template
Why to creatie an App
If you are planning to do remote development/deployment like in the cases were VS2012 / VS2013 and SharePoint 2013 are not installed on the same computer you will be needing a root site collection created using Developer Site Template. (If VS2012 and SharePoint 2013 are on the same computer this is not a requirement).

Yes you heard it right VS2012 and VS2013 support the deploying of sandbox solutions to a remote SharePoint site.
