January 16, 2007 - San Francisco, CA
With more than 1,000 attendees, including several hundred developers, Apex Day was an amazing event that brought together the Bay Area DFC community. We launched the Apex Code Developer Preview Program, allowing attendees and select other DFC members to get started exploring this powerful new language, and had our best Apex Code experts on hand delivering in-depth technical sessions and one-to-one guidance on developing on the Force.com Platform. And we also gave away a few hundred DFC t-shirts and hardcopy versions of our book, Creating On-Demand Applications.
Sessions
