Dreamforce 2012: Java Apps on Heroku & Force.com

Posted by: James Ward on 08/20/2012

Dreamforce 2012 is going to be a fantastic event! And not just because Red Hot Chili Peppers, Colin Powell, and Richard Branson will be there. I’ll also be there talking about Building Java Apps on Heroku and Force.com. Here is the description for my session:

In this session you will learn how to build Social Enterprise applications using Salesforce, Heroku, and Java. Through live coding and demonstrations you will learn how to instantly deploy and scale Java apps on the cloud with Heroku. You will also learn how to integrate those applications with Salesforce and Force.com through REST.

Sounds pretty exciting when put next the celebrities, right? Hope to see you there!
