Now that dust has settled (a little!) on the 5 events I did in London this month, it's time to look forwards to the next event. Join me in July at Buckeye Dreamin' in Columbus, Ohio. I'll be dissecting a Heroku app live before your eyes.

ANATOMY OF AN APP - SWAPMYSWAG
Let's take a walk through some code together, as we look at the making
of SwapMySwag - a community app built on the Heroku platform. We'll cover
platform decisions, design considerations, and the highs and lows of building
apps without the safety net of the core Salesforce platform.
