Intended Audience

This book can be easily understood by anyone from a business user to a professional developer. However, to get the most out of the book, it helps to be familiar with basic Internet and database concepts, such as tables and fields.

While the book focuses primarily on using the declarative, point-and-click functionality of the Force.com platform, Moving Beyond Point-and-Click App Development introduces you to the platform's user interface programming tools. To fully understand that chapter, you should be familiar with HTML and JavaScript. However, all the code you need is provided, so even if you're not an experienced developer, you can still follow along to gain a deeper understanding of what can be done with the Force.com platform.
