Salesforce.com Sites is now out.

Got into salesforce.com, click setup, develop, then sites. Register your force.com domain!

I've registered http://hallman.force.com/.

This is a fundamental shift in what salesforce.com can do as a platform.

Really really exciting stuff.

Force.com is now becoming not only a CRM, but now a true database and application development platform.

Watch out Websphere and the likes.

To put this in perspective, people normally take in the region of 10 to 20 days of consulting and development for a simple integration from a website with salesforce.com, now using Sites, we could do it in 2-10 days.

Great for our team of developers, since we're much better at coding in Sites (Visualforce and Apex) than messing around with troublesome middleware and custom integration servers!

Simpler and cheaper, could you want for more?

Great to see some Aussie companies getting on board with Salesforce.com Sites.

See news article.

This organisation was lucky enough to get on the pre-release schedule for Sites.

Our company was lucky enough to work with a number of the Australian pre-release clients to build out their Sites pages...

Now that Sites is available, I can start rolling it out on my website.

Summer 09 release went live over the weekend.

That's great, we have a whole lot more neat features.

I was hoping that Salesforce.com Sites was going to be included in this release, even though the release notes didn't mention it.

The official Sites page says that it will be available Calendar 09... lets hope it's coming in the next release?

If anyone else knows when to expect it let me know.
