Force.com is a platform for building and deploying business applications in the cloud, fast. Unlike a stack of separately designed hardware and software products, Force.com speeds innovation through a powerful yet easy-to-use metadata-driven development model. Assemble applications with clicks, components and code, then instantly deploy them to the multitenant salesforce.com infrastructure – which already serves over 55,000 customers. It’s a platform-as-a-service. This presentation introduces Force.com, illustrating development and deployment on the platform.
