Lightning Components: The Future
1 like1,226 views
At Dreamforce '14 this session discussed six new technologies in development for Lightning Components, five of which have been delivered as of the Winter '16 release. We have been hard at work on improvements in a number of areas, many of which were driven by the needs of our partners and customers. Join this panel session to hear directly from the architects and developers where Salesforce is going in coming releases, and to have the chance to influence our direction.
