If you are here, you have hopefully heard about the
Force.com platform, the world’s leading on-demand development and deployment
environment. The Force.com platform
brings all the advantages of the on-demand environment to your own custom
applications – no infrastructure costs or maintenance, rapid and universal
deployment, and a rich development environment.

Two new white papers will help you to understand the
Force.com platform and one of its newest, and coolest, aspects. The Force.com white paper introduces you to
the basics of the platform, including its architecture and main
components. The second white paper is
focuses on one of those component, Visualforce, which dramatically
enlarges the flexibility of the platform in terms of user interface and data
access logic.

You can gain the power of the Force.com platform, and the
place to start is with these two papers.
