Who Is This Book For?

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

The second section, Developing for the Salesforce App, is for advanced administrators and developers who are comfortable working with code. To fully understand its chapters, you should be familiar with Visualforce and XML. We’ll walk through optimizing your Visualforce pages for mobile and creating custom actions.

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 Salesforce.
