Join us for a developer meetup at our San Mateo Headquarters on Feburary 22nd starting at 6:00 pm. This event lets you learn and explore the Force.com platform. You’ll also get a chance to meet our technical experts. We'll supply food, drinks, free t-shirts and an opportunity for you to enter into a random drawing to win an iPod Touch! 

Track 1: Introduction to Force.com Workshop   For those new to Force.com, will get you up and building apps in the cloud in no time. The track first introduces you to the Force.com platform and then turns it over to you to create your first cloud app via step-by-step tutorials. Bring your laptop for the hands-on lab.

Track 2: Force.com REST API/Force.com Toolkit for Ruby   In Track 2, we are going to kick it up a notch. In the first half, we will introduce the new REST API, highlight how to authenticate via OAuth2, and demonstrate some of the typical operations you may perform including querying objects, and updating records. In the second half, you will see how to configure your Ruby On Rails app to use the new Force.com Toolkit for Ruby to connect to Force.com, and deploy it to Heroku. </a>
