The Salesforce1 Platform was built with an API-first approach that allows developers to build amazing customer centric applications. To simplify this process for Microsoft .NET developers, we have built a set of toolkits that provide native libraries for the Salesforce1 APIs. Wade Wegner, Senior Director of Platform Architecture for salesforce.com, explains in this webinar why these toolkits were built, how they were built, and how to build applications with them. In this talk you'll learn about Dev/CI environments, NuGet packaging, targeting multiple platforms using the Portable Class Libraries, the Async and Await asynchronous design pattern, and much more. This talk is heavy in code and examples, so please watch!

amazing .NET applications.

7. #forcewebinar
Why did we build the toolkits?
Reasons
§ Large .NET developer
ecosystem
§ Salesforce1 Platform APIs
§ Simplify development
§ Codify best practices
Actual Reason
§ We had nothing for .NET
developers
Justifications

8. #forcewebinar
Design Principles: What was most important to us?
§ Multiple & Cross Platform
Support
– Portable Class Libraries
– Mono.NET
– Supported platforms: .NET 4.5(.1), Windows
Phone 8, Windows Store, iOS, Android, & any
Mono.NET platform
§ Asynchronous by default
§ Support for dynamics and
generics
§ Simple to use but
extensible for advanced
scenarios
§ Delivered through NuGet
packages
§ Open source
