Accelerate Your Career With the Salesforce ASEAN Developer Challenge

Accelerate Your Career With the Salesforce ASEAN Developer Challenge

Register for the ASEAN Developer Challenge and learn how easy it is to build an enterprise app on the Salesforce Platform.

As a Salesforce App Developer, you get to work with Customer 360, gain access to a wide range of learning opportunities, and be part of the inclusive Salesforce community.

According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), by 2024, Salesforce and its ecosystem of partners may create 8,500 direct and 17,000 indirect jobs in Singapore alone. This is driven in large part by increased demand for cloud solutions and services. 

The ASEAN Developer Challenge introduces you to the Salesforce ecosystem. Think of it as an opportunity to learn, earn, and connect. Register for the challenge and see how easy it is to begin building enterprise apps on the Salesforce Platform. Eventually, you will also get an opportunity to showcase your app-building skills to Salesforce customers and partners at an official Salesforce Demo Day.

Salesforce Developer Advocates will guide you through the challenge, and help you convert your enterprise app idea into a marketable asset. It’s also a great way to get Salesforce certified for free, says Joey Chan, a Salesforce MVP based in the Philippines.

“Starting as a Salesforce Developer is the best decision I’ve made for my career,” he says. “I have joined programming competitions since my university days to hone my skills. This is a great opportunity for everyone in the region to learn and get certified for free!”
