However you should keep in mind that your code can be easily tracked and downloaded so if you have sensitive information and logic that needs to be secured then you need to use server side code :) You can do hybrid application though and that is probably the best way to go. In this example I will show you how easy to get the data out of SharePoint list and display it with a little user interactivity.
