SharePoint Apps vs. SharePoint Solutions

Last few weeks I have been working on a project which required some research on whether a developer should create an App or a traditional WSP Solution for the SharePoint 2013. The research will soon be transformed into a web app and I will post that when its ready but meanwhile here are few links which I found very helpful for this topic.

• Deciding between apps for SharePoint and SharePoint Solutions
  
• Apps for SharePoint compared with SharePoint solutions
