SFDCNewb DE - How Does One Know if Apps are Working?
I am new to salesforce.com and am on a self -pace learning with various materials available. This will be a career change for me but have worked with salesforce.com as a end user.
I am going to build the Recruiting App that is in the Force.com Platform Fundamentals : An Introduction to Custom Application Development in the Cloud. Since this will be built on the Developers Edition, I know its not "live". So how do I know if I built it incorrectly or have some errors? This goes for any future apps that I hope to build on DE.
Well, it is "live" - just not live on a "production" environment.
So I think what you're asking is:
- What's the difference between a developer environment and a production environment.
One thing you'll learn about as you go through your material is all these different environments. In fact, there's a sandbox environment too. Some accounts have them (the developer edition you have, do not - but you can also sign up for a Force.com Free Edition which does). Your sandbox can effectively be a "mirror" of your production - you can even ensure it has the same data ("a full copy sandbox") - and be pretty confident that if it works there, it will work on production.
Hope that helps - you can learn a little more here.

Thanks for clearing that up, Jon Mountjoy_.
