1 定义salesforce platform
At Salesforce, we group our services by clouds. There’s Sales Cloud for CRM, Service Cloud for customer support, and a handful of other clouds that help companies support their business functions. And while each of these clouds serves a unique purpose, there’s one thing they all have in common: the power of the Salesforce platform.

Like any platform, the Salesforce platform is a group of technologies that supports the development of other technologies on top of it. What makes it unique is that the platform supports not only all the Salesforce clouds, but it also supports custom functionality built by our customers and partners. This functionality ranges from simple page layouts to full-scale applications.

2 在salesforce platform 都可以构建什么？
Our core platform lets you develop custom data models and applications for desktop and mobile. And with the platform behind your development, you can build robust systems at a rapid pace.

And then there’s the Heroku platform. Heroku gives developers the power to build highly scalable web apps and back-end services using Python, Ruby, Go, and more. It also provides database tools to sync seamlessly with data from Salesforce.

And then there’s the host of Salesforce APIs. These let developers integrate and connect all their enterprise data, networks, and identity information.

And then there’s the Mobile SDK. The Mobile SDK is a suite of technologies that lets you build native, HTML5, and hybrid apps that have the same reliability and security as the Salesforce app.
