Welcome to Salesforce Platform Development

Welcome to development for the Salesforce Platform. In Part I, Salesforce app Administration, you learned how to set up and configure your organization for the Salesforce app. You also learned how to customize Salesforce for mobile users by using declarative programming features. In this part, you’ll learn how you can use the Salesforce Platform features to extend the Salesforce and add new functionality for your users with code.

Developing for mobile users in Salesforce means you can leverage your existing skills to extend and customize the app for your users. You can use the Salesforce Platform to extend your organization and then make those changes available to both mobile users and users of the full Salesforce site.
