Build Your First App
You are ready to create your first on-demand application using the power of the Force.com platform. But where do you start?
The book Creating On-Demand Applications is specifically addressed to help you through the process of creating your first application - from designing your data structures, to leveraging the built-in functionality of Force.com's meta-data driven development, to supplementing the default functionality with customized workflows, to adding security to your application.
You can get this valuable book here. Prefer a video version of getting started? You can find a recording of an introduction session from a past developer conference here. (You will have to join the Apex Developer Network to access either of these resources, but membership is free and provides you with access to loads of valuable development resources.)
If you need more help getting started on the Force.com platform, please refer to the Getting Started page.
