Who Is This Book For?

This book is broken up into two major sections. The first, Salesforce1 Administration, is aimed at administrators, and takes you through the declarative Salesforce1 tools in Setup, where you can point-and-click your way through getting your organization ready for the Salesforce1 mobile experience. This includes how to optimize your page layouts for mobile, customize the Salesforce1 navigation menu, create actions, and set up mobile notifications.

The second section, Developing for Salesforce1, is for advanced administrators and developers who are comfortable working with code. To fully understand its chapters, you should be familiar with Visualforce, XML, and canvas apps. We’ll walk through optimizing your Visualforce pages for mobile, creating custom actions, and creating custom app home pages for Salesforce1 using Lightning Pages.

Point-and-click admins, don’t let this deter you! We include code samples in most places, so even if you're not an experienced developer, you can still try the steps in each chapter and get a feeling for what can be done with Salesforce1.
