Inline Visualforce Page Layouts!

November 29, 2008 by David Schach 1 Comment

We’re all used to using inline S-Controls, dragging and dropping them into page layouts. And the entire Salesforce community has been spending tons of time recreating page layouts in Visualforce, just to edit one small piece of a page.

As an example, how would you implement the example at developer.force.com: Visualforce Dynamic Edit Page? You would do it the way it was explained in the blog post!

Well the rules of the game have changed.

Winter 09 Full Training Orgs

September 26, 2008 by David Schach Leave a Comment

Sure, prerelease orgs are nice, but something’s always lacking. We have to go in and enable all the cool features, which is nice in that we learn them better, but it’s also nice to get to play in a full-featured org. Salesforce CRM (the new name) has had Exercises to teach us what to do, and I’m sure they will again this time…

Meanwhile, I stumbled upon an even better treat: TRAINING orgs. Yes, orgs with tons of data and all the add-ons you could ever want:
Where is this? I’ll tell you:
Standard Prerelease org: https://prerelwww.pre.salesforce.com/form/trial/prerelease_winter09.jsp

Winter 09 (156) – New And Updated Documentation

September 19, 2008 by David Schach Leave a Comment

More Winter 09 documentation has been released. Scott Hemmeter wrote a post listing some of the pages containing new content, but I wanted to go a bit in-depth on those and some other parts of developer.force.com.

Documentation
This should be your first stop whenever you have any questions about ANYTHING on the Platform. It has sections on Web Services API (formerly just called API, to distinguish it from Metadata API), Metadata API, Apex, Visualforce, AJAX, Office Toolkit, Force.com Migration Tool, IDE, and the Library.

Core Resources
In addition to a super Documentation page, force.com has a new section which contains, well, resources sectioned by the Platform’s service categories: Logic (Apex), User Interface (Visualforce), Database (Objects, formulas, triggers, etc.), Integration (API, REST), Services –What? We now have Services as a Service?–(Workflow), Packaging and Distribution (AppExchange), Development (Metadata), and Tools (IDE, Force.com Builder, Data Loader).

Salesforce Application Name Change to Salesforce CRM

September 5, 2008 by David Schach 1 Comment

As you can see from these logos, with the Winter 09 release the application Salesforce is now called Salesforce CRM.

To clarify any confusion:

The company is called salesforce.com (no capitalization).

The application is called Salesforce CRM.

The platform is still force.com.

Google Releases Data APIs Java Client Eclipse Plug-in

July 11, 2008 by David Schach Leave a Comment

Google just released its Google Data APIs Java Client Eclipse Plug-in, which seems to have great possibilities for developing in Google. Combined with the Force.com Toolkit for Google Data APIs, it could go even further.
