Create and Build On Demand with the Salesforce Developer Network
Comprehensive developer resources to build on the Salesforce Platform are available at a new Wiki-based developer site, the Salesforce Developer Network, at http://developer.salesforce.com. The Salesforce Developer Network provides the community, tools and resources to let developers use the Apex programming language to build new applications for the AppExchange. Now any developer in the world -- with access to just a Web browser and Internet connection -- can harness the power of the world's most popular multi-tenant platform to create new applications and mashups from scratch. With toolkits and resources for most popular development languages, including AJAX, Flex, Java, .NET and PHP, developers can also combine those applications with other Web services to create new business mashups, allowing developers, ISVs and IT organizations to easily leverage The Business Web in their projects and offerings.
Developers interested in using the toolkits and the Salesforce Platform can sign up for a free Developer Edition at http://developer.salesforce.com.
