Force.com Workbook

The Force.com Workbook shows you how to create,  in a series of tutorials, an application using the Force.com platform.

The tutorials are centered around building a very simple warehouse management system. You'll start developing the application from the bottom up; that is, you'll first build a database model for keeping track of merchandise. You'll continue by creating reports and dashboards to view data.  Then you'll add business logic: validation rules to ensure that there is enough stock, workflow to update inventory when something is sold, approvals to send email notifications for large invoice values, and trigger logic to update the prices in open invoices. Once the database and business logic are complete, you'll create a user interface to display a product inventory to staff, a public website to display a product catalog, and then the start of a simple store front. If you'd like to develop offline and integrate with the app, we've added a final tutorial to use Force.com Flex.
