Clever Geek Handbook

Does anyone know of a good SOFT resource salesforce.com?

I've searched for a decent guide to the SOQL query language for Salesforce.com and a schema for my tables, but I can't find anything that is remotely decent. Does anyone know how I will get the documents?

I have a good book on the subject sitting on my desk at work, unfortunately I'm at home now. Once I arrive at work tomorrow morning (UK), I will edit this answer to provide more details.

This book is called the Force.com Cookbook , published by Salesforce itself. It is available for free from this link. Here are the chapters:

  • Beginning of work
  • Application development on demand
  • Guidelines for Writing S-Controls
  • Apex writing guidelines
  • Finding and Querying Data
  • Improving data quality
  • Custom buttons and links
  • Customizing Salesforce Pages and Fields
  • Integration with other services
  • Writing Web Controls and Client Applications
  • Debugging S-Controls and Apex
  • Packaging an App for AppExchange
  • Getting Started with VisualForce


There are dozens of examples and discussions on SOQL in the book, this is actually too much code. But I learned a lot of good things.

For the details of your specific Salesforce schema (each configured) you should look at the WSDL that is generated for you. I've also used a couple of applications shown here .

The Salesforce.com Web Services API Docs contains reference documents for SOQL, and has many samples.

While developing a custom solution against the Salesforce API, I got a lot of help decrypting Salesforce database tables, custom objects and SOQL (including examples) behind the scenes - this is sforce Explorer; http://sforce.sourceforge.net/

Nothing looks like SQL Server Enterprise or the new Management Studio tools, it's actually a tiny application. This helps to get rid of confusion.

To sign in and use sforce Explorer, you need a Salesforce developer account or a corporate account with API access (and token).
