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:

Hope this helps

SharePoint Office 365 and TFS

Are there any ways to integrate SharePoint office 365 site with Team Foundation Server (to display data from TFS on SharePoint). Maybe, is there a webpart or anything that can do that)?
No such way by default. Check the Supported SharePoint versions for TFS version:
TFS 2015:
SharePoint 2013 (Foundation, Standard, Enterprise)
SharePoint 2010 (Foundation, Standard, Enterprise)
TFS 2013
SharePoint 2013 (Foundation, Standard, Enterprise)
SharePoint 2010 (Foundation, Standard, Enterprise)
TFS 2012
SharePoint 2013 (Foundation, Standard, Enterprise)
SharePoint 2010 (Foundation, Standard, Enterprise)
Office SharePoint Server 2007 (Standard, Enterprise)
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
TFS 2010

Opening SharePoint 2010 Foundation Site in SharePoint Designer 2010

Hello I am trying to open a SharePoint 2010 Foundation Site (local installed on Windows7 Home Premium) in SharePoint Designer 2010. Nevertheless I get the following error:
"The directory name is invalid".
I already added the site to trusted zone in IE, but that has no effect. I also can't connect SharePoint to SharePoint Workspace.
Thank you!
First, are you using SharePoint Designer 2007 or 2010? You can't use SPD 2007 with SharePoint 2010.
Second, you have to configure your site (via central admin) to allow editing with SPD.

TFS 2010 and Sharepoint (Licensing)

If I use MOSS 2007 or Sharepoint Services 3.0 with TFS do I need a license or is there an implicit license with TFS, like there is for SQL Server.
You need a license for MOSS, but Sharepoint Services 3.0 are part of Windows and don't require a separate license to use. TFS only requires WSS to run. The stack looks like this:
WSS
/ \
MOSS TFS
WSS 3.0 comes free with Windows Server 2005/2008, MOSS always requires a separate license. TFS doesn't grant you any kind of SharePoint licensing afaik.
Ray - as others have said you need a license for MOSS beyond your Windows Server and TFS licenses, but not WSS 3.0 for TFS 2008. TFS 2010 does not require WSS or MOSS at all if you have another site or portal solution (i.e. FlexWiki, Zen, Pivotal Tracker, etc).
