Following the India Salesforce Platform Developer Hands-On Workshop in July, we plan to organize monthly meetups in Bangalore, starting in August.

By popular demand, we are having our first monthly meetup to Sunday, August 19th (Sunday). We hope that this move to a weekend will enable a larger participation. The event will be held in collaboration with the Centre for Internet and Society (cis-india.org), at their Domlur location.

Happy to announce that our first speaker at this meetup will be John Barnes, CTO Model Metrics, a Salesforce Company. John is a frequent speaker at global conferences on Cloud Computing and Mobility (Dreamforce, Adobe MAX, Interop, Cloud Connect, Enterprise 2.0). You can follow his blogs at http://www.modelmetrics.com/author/jbarnes/

John will give an overview of the Force.com platform, benefits of Force.com, Heroku, etc., and an overview of the Social Enterprise.

Siddhesh Kabe, Sr. Developer, Salesforce.com, will follow up with demos and hands-on coding. We're also planning to present a few videos.

Please RSVP with a Yes or No so that we get a final accurate count of participants.

See you soon!
