TFS 2017 & earlier disable SharePoint integration - sharepoint

What will be the steps to disable and completely remove SharePoint integration on TFS 2017? Currently the documentation shows how to "Disable SharePoint integration after TFS 2018 upgrade".

Go to TFS Administration Console.
Click SharePoint Web Applications.
Click Modify against your server connection.
Choose Remove.

TFS 2018 and later versions no longer support native integration with SharePoint products.
With TFS 2017 & earlier you could still configure and use TFS-SharePoint integration, if you don't need the sharepoint feature any more. You could simply remove sharepoint feature.
For SharePoint, click SharePoint Web Applications and under the top section, click Modify against your server connection and choose Remove.

Deploy Office AddIn to SharePoint on-premises environment

I am developing with Word Web AddIn by Office.js. Now I want to publish it to my on-premises environment.
After check Deploy and publish your Office Add-in, it seems only SharePoint catalog supports SharePoint on-premises. But for this docuemnt, it shared the steps for Sharepoint Online instead of premises.
Interesting. It seems that when Microsoft renamed "apps for Office" and "apps for SharePoint" to "Office Add-ins" and "SharePoint Add-ins", the UI of SharePoint Central Administration was not changed. But whoever wrote that second article that you linked to thought that it had been changed. (Or maybe it was, but your SharePoint on-premise doesn't have an up-to-date build.) I think that when you get to step 2 of the article you linked to, you will find an "Apps" on the left side of the page instead of a "Add-ins". So just follow the directions in that article but in your mind replace "Add-in" with "App" in all the steps.
Another possibility is this article I found. Try using this, if the suggestion above doesn't work: Manage the App Catalog in SharePoint Server.

How to remove TFS 2015 Update 3 and SharePoint 2013 integration?

I have TFS 2015 Update 3 configured with SharePoint 2013 integration. I am planning to upgrade to TFS 2018 in new hardware, which does not support SharePoint integration.
According to MS documents I should upgrade and disable the SharePoint integration post upgrade.
In my case I am upgrading and moving to new hardware at the same time. When I am moving to a new set of hardware, I do not want to bring the OLD SharePoint along.
So before even upgrading to TFS 2018 I want to decouple SharePoint sites from the existing TFS 2015 Update 3 configuration.
Is there a way to achieve this? or my approach is wrong?
If you don't need SharePoint anymore, you could remove SharePoint extension in your TFS 2015 by going to TFS Administration Console, click SharePoint Web Applications, click Modify against your server connection and choose Remove.
If you still need TFS SharePoint sites, you should follow the document you mentioned to disable SharePoint integration.
It's suggested have a full backup of your database, and do a dryrun upgrade before using in production environment.

How to create a sharepoint Page on Office 365 using Visual Studio 2012

On my Visual Studio 2012 software I need to create new web page for my Office 365 SharePoint as a Landing Page for my site. The Page has to contain some logic related to the SharePoint which is to be developed in Visual Studio itself.
The Question is what is the best way to achieve this, what should the project type be (should it be ASP.NET empty Web Application, if so what else would be required to setup) and How to pakage it and deploy on the Cloud (Office 365 account).
You will need to create App(Now called as SharePoint Add-In), then use the app-catalog to deploy and Install app on SharePoint office 365 site.
Below are some reference which will be helpful to you:

office 365 SharePoint app deployment with VS 2013

I don't have SharePoint installed in my machine.
I have installed VS 2013 Ultimate and have Office 365 developer site. And I want to develop Sharepoint 2013 apps without SharePoint installed in my machine.
When I open VS I can select template as Sharepoint 2013 apps and give URL of the site and select the hosting option. After do some smart coding I build the solution and then deployed.
When I navigate to Office 365 developer site I couldn't find the deployed app.
What is the issue? Anything I have missed?
First check output in Visual Studio to ensure that the app was indeed deployed successfully.
Second go to your Office 365 development site where it's supposed to be deployed. It should appear in "Recent" section in the side menu on left side. Alternatively go to Site Contents and your app should appear as a tile there.
If that still gives you trouble, try with a sample app project - open it and deploy it and see if that works.

Difference between Office 365 preview and sharepoint online

I am new to sharepoint online. At first I need to know the difference between sharepoint online and office 365 preview.
Preview site: https://portal.microsoftonline.com/Admin/Default.aspx which looms like below.
I have also the below site
Now what is the difference between the two. My goal is to create apps and webparts. Which one shall i choose? I have not installed sharepoint 2013 server/ sharepoint foundation. Can i create apps and webparts without installing server2013/foundation2013?
The Office365 Preview is running on the new SharePoint 2013 platform. If you want to build and monetize apps/web parts, you would need to go with this option, as it is the
latest and greatest.
Go to http://dev.office.com to get all of the resources you need including links to the software, tutorials, documentation, etc...
Microsoft provides a free Office365 portal specifically for developers who want to build apps on the online platform. With this, all you would need is Visual Studio 2012 and the SharePoint/Office SDK installed to build apps. You would deploy and debug directly on the online portal without needing SharePoint installed on your environment.
I hope this helps.
