A Force to Reckon With

One of the things I love about Salesforce is you have the opportunity to learn and build in your own sandbox org.  And as long as you keep it active, it is yours free and clear!  Granted, you can’t expect to run a business or have multiple users in it but it does give you the perfect platform to stretching your idea of what you can do with the platform.

So with that, through this series of posts, I’m going to come up with a design and build a Salesforce app to track my experiences at Disney World.  The main reason for this particular app will be to track what experiences I’ve enjoyed during a visit.  This way I can see my own data, what I’ve done, what I did or did not like, crowd, wait times, ride problems, etc.  I can then take this data and build dashboards showing how much I did in a day, multiple visits, etc.  I can double check what I did on a visit, if I want to complete a quest or challenge (ride all the rides in Tomorrowland!) — shoot this could even be fun to share with friends and helpful in syncing pictures with timelines.

So I hope you’ll join me and if there’s anything in particular you would like to see or cover, post it in the comments!
