This document provides an introduction to RealTime Force, Salesforce's streaming API. It begins with an overview and safe harbor statement, then outlines the agenda which includes introducing RealTime Force, demonstrating a sample application, walking through the code, and a Q&A. Key points covered include how the streaming API delivers near real-time notifications using comet technology without counting against API limits. It also discusses how to get started by creating a Visualforce page, adding CometD JavaScript client code, and asynchronously waiting for and handling events. Code examples are provided for the Apex page, CometD client initialization, and event handling.
