Salesforce1 Lightning is a ground-breaking release of the platform that lets anyone build apps, fast and easy. A new component framework and set of tools gives developers and business analysts unprecedented power to build apps, integrate data, and automate business processes lightning fast.

Salesforce wants everyone to get a chance to get "hands-on" with Lightning. To make this happen, they've sponsored Lightning Developer Week – a week of meetups around the world during the second week of March.

On Tuesday, March 10th, the San Diego Salesforce Developer Group will join more than 100 other Salesforce Developer, User, and Non-Profit groups across the globe by hosting a Salesforce Lightning Developer Event. Join us for a night of Lighting demos, training, and expertise. No matter your experience level you'll walk away with knowledge that you can start using right away!

Salesforce expert Jeff Douglas will be on-site as our featured speaker.  If you've ever read one of Jeff's blog posts, you should not miss this chance to meet him in person!

RSVP today to join us for this special event! Attendees who RSVP will get an exclusive limited-edition t-shirt (while supplies last)!  Come early to enjoy FREE food and craft beer while networking with other developers from 6pm to 7pm.  The main presentations will start just after that.  We're still trying to line up a special guest from Salesforce...stay tuned for more about that!
