SalesForce Tools


SF tools:

Force.com explorer (see all sf objects like how SQL management studio works for MS-SQL)

Adobe flash builder - To develop flex/flash and access SF data via queryResult

Force.com dataloader - upload from csv

Force.com IDE - should just download eclipse and use the sf plug-in instead

For sample data, use random name generator to excel to generate dummy excel files for uploading to SF

To create word templates, Docx is actually a zip file.  You can extract it and update the document.xml

To toggle between the field codes and word documents, use alt f9 in MS-Word
