Last month, the Force.com Developer Relations team held a Holiday Cookbook Contest to spur user-generated content. There were a good number of high-quality submissions that were reviewed, tested, and edited before being posted to the Force.com Cookbook site. I want to point out one cookbook recipe that is of particular interest, which is Luke Freeland’s recipe for automating the execution of unit tests in a Salesforce org.
When Salesforce Chatter debuted just over a year ago, it was a huge step forward in company communications. It enabled users to make quick and candid notes and updates on their projects. It was no Twitter or Facebook, which have re-sharing features, likes, @-mentions, and photo galleries, but this was a good thing. It allowed businesses who were new to the concept of social networks to start off with just the basics, which was providing updates. As businesses and their employees have become more skilled at building their internal social networks, new Chatter features have been released to allow for more fine-tuned use of the tool. With the new Spring ‘12 release, there are some exciting new features that I’d like to discuss.
In my previous post, I gave a high-level overview of a Visualforce page lifecycle. In this post, I’d like to discuss how I like to apply the MVC pattern to my Visualforce pages to keep them logically structured and make them easier to maintain.
Recently, I’ve been researching the MVC pattern, which is a method of code organization used by GUI applications. I’d like to take some time to discuss how this software architecture pattern is used by Visualforce, in the hopes of educating the reader and inspiring them to write more organized code.
Salesforce has had many phases of growth in its lifetime. These phases include: CRM in the cloud, social media monitoring, and the social enterprise. Salesforce is great at discovering the Next Big Thing. After discovering the Next Big Thing, Salesforce educates its clients and followers what it is, instructs how to best tap its potential, and provides the tools to do so on its platform. If you’ve listened to Salesforce’s recent releases and its developer’s actions, you’ll know that its Next Big Thing is mobile.
