Our journey to ELEVATE the skills of developer and partner communities continues with our next stop, Salesforce Platform ELEVATE  in Washington DC. Salesforce Platform ELEVATE, is a FREE, one-day, hands-on developer workshop designed to teach beginner and advanced developers how to build cloud applications on the Salesforce Platform. For Washington DC, we are adding a third track to help entrepreneurs looking to build their next big enterprise app for either the commercial or public sector markets.

• As a new developer, you’ll learn step-by-step how to quickly build a cloud app while learning the foundations of the platform in this hands-on tutorial. By the end of the workshop you’ll be able to create an app using point-and-click development and extend your app using Visualforce Apex Code.
• The advanced track picks up where the beginner track leaves off, walking you through unit testing, generating non-HTML pages with Visualforce, Using Apex triggers, asynchronous data handling, and more.
• In the ISV track, you will learn how you can build commercial apps on the Salesforce Platform, and partner with salesforce.com to build the next big app for government or business.

The DC ELEVATE workshop will be led by veteran Salesforce technical gurus Josh Birk @joshbirk, Gordon Jackson @FR4G4M3MN0N, Ryan Upton @ryanjupton and Daniel Mehlman @DanTheCloudGuy

Come learn how to build declarative apps, add security, and utilize Visualforce while getting the latest tips, tricks, techniques and best practices for building apps in the cloud.

We will be at the Westin Tyson’s Corner, on Tuesday, May 21 starting at 8:00 am. We are nearly sold-out, but you still have time to book your seat. Register, pack your laptop and come on down to raise your cloud developer skills to the next level.
