AppExchange Makeover

Looks like Salesforce has changed its user-interface again. Remember the Apps menu with the AppExchange link that opened the AppExchange in a new tab? That’s been changed.

OLD:

AppExchange Logo and Apps menu with “Add Apps…” at the bottom of the menu

NEW:



force.com Apps Logo and Apps menu with

• a space
• Add AppExchange Apps
• Create New Apps

The last item, Create New Apps, takes you to developer.force.com.

Salesforce is clearly pushing the Platform, encouraging people to create their own apps. Looks like I’m going to spend the next few days going through every tutorial I can find, starting with how to code in Java. I’m heading to Sydney, Australia on Friday, so I’ll have plenty of reading to do on the plane. Problem is this: 4 hours of batteries on a 12 hour flight doesn’t really help much, does it? Oh well.
