 what is connected app in salesforce  - Salesforce Globe For You 

Connected App:A connected app is a framework that helps external application to integrate with salesforce using API's and standard protocols like SAML,OAuth and OpenID connect.

These protocols are used by connected App to authenticate,authorize and provide single sign-on (SSO) for external apps.

The connected app captures metadata about the external app such as which protocol the external app uses and where it runs etc and then provides the same information to salesforce.Salesforce then grants access to external application to access it's data by attaching some policies that define access restrictions.

Uses of connected App:

1)Access Data with API integration: if web based or mobile applications wants to pull data from salesforce,you can use connected app as client to request the data.

2)Integrate service providers with salesforce.

3)provide authorization for extrnal API gateways

4)Manage access to third party apps.

difference between Managed and Unmanaged package in salesforce - Salesforce Globe For You

 Packages: Whenever you need to use the app exchange products or whenever you need to deploy components from one org to another,you can use packages.

Package is a collection of related components like apps,tabs,apex classes,visualforce pages etc.

Whenever you need to use app exchange product,the product related components are packaged in a package which you can directly install and use.

you can create a package in one org and can use the package url to install it in other org.

Packages come in 2 flavours.Managed and Unmanaged.

Differences:

you cannot customize(change) the  code or metadata if required in Managed package but you can do that in unManaged package.

If you use Managed package,upgrades happen automatically when new version released but if you use unManaged package,upgrades won't happen automatically.

In Managed package,the components of the package don’t count against the org limits(tab limits,object limits,app limits etc). where as in unManaged,limits count.
