Development with the Force.com Platform

---

I wrote this book to help developers discover Force.com as a viable, even superior tool for building business applications. I’m always surprised at how many developers I meet who aren’t aware of Force.com as a platform.They know of Salesforce, but only that it’s a CRM. Even those who have heard of Force.com are amazed when I describe what Appirio and other companies are building with it.“I didn’t know you could do that with Force.com” is a common reac- tion, even to the simplest of things such as creating custom database tables. Since this book was first published, Salesforce has continued to innovate, adding many new capabilities to the Force.com platform.Thanks to solid demand for the book, I got the chance to write this second edition. It contains updates throughout to reflect excit- ing developments like aggregate functions in SOQL, simplified governor limits, and the REST API. It also features two entirely new chapters:“Batch Processing” (Chapter 9) and “Social Applications” (Chapter 13). I hope that the second edition of this book is effective in introducing business appli- cation developers to what Force.com offers.This is a combination of its features as a development platform and the benefits of it being “in the cloud,” delivered over the Internet as a service rather than installed on your own servers. I believe you’ll find, as I did, that Force.com can save you significant time and effort throughout the software development lifecycle of many types of applications.
