I successfully navigated my first year at DreamForce (the annual Salesforce.com event of the year).
I had heard that you can get any one of 100,001 things from DreamForce, so my objective was to go and learn as much as I could about VisualForce and Apex. I’m certain I succeeded in reaching that goal.
Monday was a 14 hour day that included registration, the big keynote from the Salesforce.com CEO, session after session of learning, a two-hour hack-athon on the new Force.com Sites technology and ended with a Foo Fighters concert.
Tuesday was a 12 hour day that included several hands-on sessions with the Force.com platform, two keynotes and the nations presidential election.
Wednesday was a day of dragging yourself from session to session learning new things.
I can’t put scale to this event in words. I do know there were close to 10,000 people there, so you can only imagine the size of the keynote room that could accommodate 10,000 people (sitting nonetheless).
Regretfully, I didn’t get to sit the Admin certification exam, but I did pick up a voucher for a free certification exam soon.
In sum, it was great experience, I learned a lot, and I’m looking forward to the next one.
