Since the launch of Salesforce1 Lightning at Dreamforce, we have been eagerly preparing to get this new technology in the hands of our developer community. The introduction of Lightning technology to the Salesforce1 Platform signifies another revolutionary shift in enterprise app development. Lightning provides a component framework and a new set of tools for developers and users to build apps, integrating data, and automating business processes faster than ever before.

We want everyone to get a chance to experience and get hands-on with Lightning. So to make this happen, we are thrilled to announce Lightning Developer Week – a week of meetups around the world starting March 9th – plus other online resources to help you get up to speed, better yet up to Lightning speed that is.

Lightning Developer Week

During the week of March 9 over 100 Salesforce developer groups, user groups, and non-profit user groups across the globe will rally to get hands-on with Lightning tools and network with each other during Lightning Developer Week. Additionally, our team of platform experts will be hitting the road to meet and connect with our growing global community.

To join in the Lightning Developer Week excitement, find a local meetup group or start a new one in your city. Finally, we will be  airlifting surprise goody packages to each location so don’t miss out!
