Faux AppExhange

As a way to better learn about and understand managed packages, I'd like to have a way to create, deploy to app exchange, install, test and then ultimately delete managed package apps from app exhange. Basically I guess what I want is a play version of AppExhange. Is this possible?

Hi,

 

If you wish to undertsand how packages work : I would suggest you to first get 2 developer ORGs and try creating your own managed package on one - upload it to appexchange - download it on the other dev ORG - use it and test it.(this is how I tested it)

 

Go through the following as this may help:http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/An_Introduction_to_Packaging

 

If you wish to test the private appexchange whichsalesforce launched - please go to https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N3000000B4VlZEAV believe you can try it on your test ORG
