When I attended Dreamforce 2005 as a Salesforce employee, there were 3,000 attendees. This year, more than 30,000 SFDC fans are expected.   Today, we have come to expect celebrities and dignitaries such as Colin Powell, Stevie Wonder and Bill Clinton.  Given the huge popularity of modern Dreamforces with countless ways to learn, network and partay, one thing is for sure – planning ahead is a must!

Whether you are a first-time attendee or Dreamforce groupie,  following are 8 tips to consider for a stellar 2011 experience:

  1. Chatter – Connect with all kinds of attendees who share something in common.
  2. Agenda Builder- Take advantage and select your sessions in advance! Some require reserved spots!
  3. 1:1 Success Clinics – Meet with a Salesforce expert to get your pressing questions answered!
  4. Developer Skills Assessments – Meet 1:1 with expert Hire On-Demand recruiters. Reserve your spot in the Attendee portal > Developer Zone
  5. Exhibitors – Lots of resources in one room to make your life more simplified. Select your top picks in advance!
  6. Comfy shoes – This will go a long way. Trust me!
  7. Follow-up Plan -  What do you hope to accomplish? What is your game plan when you return to the office?
  8. Have a rockin’ time! Metallica, Will.i.am, and parties galore. Need I say more?

Cloud developer jobs are calling for anyone ranging from Java gurus to green college grads.

Salesforce.com and the Cloud-Career Evolution

With Salesforce, Amazon Web Services, Google Enterprise and other game-changing technology platforms embracing the Cloud, careers in the space have exploded.

Salesforce.com unveiled its Force.com platform and proprietary Java-based, Apex language to the developer community in 2007. This single event created an entirely new career path for the Cloud-computing community.

Most recently, Salesforce and VMware’s joint venture, VMforce, empowers Java developers to leverage the Spring Framework in conjunction with the Force.com platform.

Top 5 Reasons It’s Good To Be A Cloud Developer:

  1. PAY. PAY. PAY. Demand for cloud developers exceeds supply and will for some time.  With numerous platforms offering endless creative options, developers are in hot demand with loads of revolutionizing projects begging for knowledgeable talent.
  2. Hot Space. Work with some of the sexiest technologies on the planet!
  3. To Work Full-time or Contract? A bounty of opportunities equals a variety of options and flexibility from many employers.
  4. Work remote! Cloud-computing allows many developers to work from their home, Starbucks or any favorite Wi-Fi hotspot.
  5. Keep Marketable! As the tech industry flocks to the Cloud, do not be left behind with outdated technologies on your resume!

Cloud Developer Role Types:

Cloud developer roles vary from app development to building integrations to programmatically enhancing a specific technology such as Salesforce’s CRM. Most developers choose one or two focus areas.
