Connect and develop with sharepoint server 2013
I recently installed sharepoint server 2013 at our company and found some really good examples of how you can override the taskbar with custom links. Now when I try to implement these examples, I get to the point where the Visual Studio 2012 and Office development tools are installed. When I choose to start a new project, I select New Project> Templates> Visual C #> Office / SharePoint> SharePoint Solutions> SharePoint 2013 Empty Remote Project and I get an error that says Sharepoint is not installed? Should I install VS 2012 and develop Sharepoint 2013 Server myself?

A very common way to develop SharePoint applications is to run a virtual machine ( hyper-v under windows 8, for example ) in your development workstation.
You can also dual boot to vhd file .
You can also install Windows Server 2012 and use one of the many methods. This no longer works in SharePoint 2013. The reason this support was removed is due to enabling Boot from VHD and Hyper-v in Windows 8.
In my experience, if you just want to build your application, not run or debug it, just to have assemblies copied from real SharePoint Server will allow you to do this . I haven't found an updated document for SharePoint 2013 yet.

Yes. You must develop on the sharepoint server directly using Visual Studio as the Sharepoint server. The GAC has the required server object models to programmatically work with the sharepoint server object model .
You can also design a client machine using the Client Object Model or WCF Data Services Framework .
