Build an application on Salesforce App Cloud from start to finish

December 2015...

The force has just awakened...

And the Trailhead Team have created an incredible new project that helps you wake up in the force too... you can build your first application on Salesforce App Cloud from start to finish.


Build a Battle Station App

This links to the new Trailhead project

The purpose of this project is to guide you through the process of building an application on Salesforce App Cloud from start to finish.

You will not be required to write any code; so don't panic if you're new to App Cloud, because the purpose of this Trailhead project is to introduce you to the basics of app building.

You need a free Developer Edition ORG to complete this project. If you don't have one, you can create a new one here.

This new app you are going to build is a project management app that allows users to manage the resources and supplies used to build a Battle Station.

You will learn point-and-click skills that are applicable to building almost anything on App Cloud. Here's what you'll be doing: 

     - Create the app and a data model for the application. This simple application requires only a few custom objects with a small number of fields. 

     - Modify the user interface on the browser and on Salesforce1 Mobile using page layouts, compact layouts, and global actions

     - Implement business logic using formulas, validation rules and a process builder

     - Build reports and dashboards to track the status of supplies and analyze how well the company manages resources.

Go get your hands on this new Trailhead project and complete it by the 31st of December for a chance to win some amazing prizes:
     - 3 PlayStation 4 Consoles
     - 10 Sphero Robots
     - 15 Air Hogs Remote Control Quad Copters
