- Google Search for Salesforce.com openings that mention 'identity' - LOTS of jobs open at Salesforce.com - this link filters out the identity-related reqs. Just one right now, but that will certainly change. Substitute 'identity' in the URL with your particular interest...
- Getting Started with the Force.com REST API - developer.force.com - This tutorial shows the basics of using the Force.com REST API. It walks through a simple Java Web application that authenticates the user to Force.com via OAuth 2.0, then creates, reads, updates, and deletes Force.com Account records via the new API. Note: As of Winter ’11 the Force.com REST API is still in Developer Preview and should not be used for production until its GA in a future release.
