Monday AM Admin: Countdown to Dreamforce ’11 #1

| August 22nd, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Here we are with one week to go. It will feel like one of the longest weeks of the year, but you can pass the time by packing a little and of course checking in on the Dreamforce Chatter org. (Like you aren’t doing that already… all the time.) So we started this Countdown to Dreamforce by looking at the essential sessions to certify, connect, and be great Button-Click Admins. From there I moved us on to sessions that make us good admins and skill ourselves up by moving from Clicks to Code. Along the way I reinforced the need for good analytics. That brings us to the conclusion of our countdown and the two must- attend items for your calendar. #1- Hands- On: Introduction to Apex for non-developers (8/30 5:00- 6:00) & (9/1 1:15- 2:15) Ready to intensify?

Last week I highlighted a session on Chatter, this week its all about taking our button-click skills to the next level.

So register and add this one to your calendar right now. #3- Hands-On: Introduction to Force.com Code (Apex) for Non-Developers (12/7 3:45- 4:45) Are you new to the world of object-oriented programming?
