This class takes place on Saturday, May 14th from 10:00AM - 4:30PM with a break for lunch.
In this class, we aim to demystify mobile app development and give you a crash course in Salesforce app building. You'll build a simple enterprise business app without writing any code. Salesforce's "low-code" platform does have front and back end programming tools, but a lot of app development is done without code. Using Salesforce's point & click platform tools, you will create a cloud database, mobile user interfaces, simple business logic, reports, and dashboards. Your sample app will run in both a web browser and on a mobile device using the free (always, forever, it's yours) Developer Edition of Salesforce and the free Salesforce1 Mobile App.
What this class will cover:
• Overview of mobile app development
• Hands-on project building a real, working app that is yours to keep
• Resources for future self-guided learning online
Prerequisites:
Students should be fairly familiar with using internet and mobile applications and Googling for answers to all of life’s questions. You do not need any prior Salesforce experience.
Tech Requirements:
Please bring a laptop, not an iPad/tablet. The visual development tools only run on a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 9 or later).

As one of the early members of the Platform Product Management team at Salesforce, Mary designed the core “point & click” tools that make customization and app building accessible to non-programmers.
