Where possible we should really be trying to use Lightning Web Components over Visualforce. The main reason we should prioritize Lightning Web Components over Visualforce is because of a lot of the out-of-the-box benefits: more modern, more responsive, and frankly, Visualforce will at some point be deprecated. Visualforce is still useful though, here are some…
Batch Apex has some incredible advantages over regular apex. The execution time of batch apex can be much longer and a lot more records can be processed. Scheduling Batch Apex has even more benefits than batch apex: it can do large jobs regularly.
Over time, Salesforce orgs get more and more complicated especially when a consultant, admin or developer leaves the organization with their knowledge of the system.
On Salesforce, if you want to process thousands of records the only way to truly achieve it is through asynchronous apex.
In this blog post, we cover the various ways of doing Asynchronous Apex.
Security in Salesforce and on the Force.com platform can be really hard to understand. In this blog post, we’re going to have a look at the “With Sharing” and “Without Sharing” Apex keywords.
In Salesforce, the Standard Query Language (SQL) didn’t have a great way of doing SELECT * or select all fields but that changed in Spring 2021.
When writing SOQL queries we can use the IN operator or the = operator as long as we are using variables instead of hardcoded strings. This works because the result will be identical.
This past year, Salesforce has finally released some security enhancements that can make our lives easier as developers.
There’s two enhancements that can really improve our code and reduce the use of the Schema.sObjectType methods.
As you may recall, in Salesforce, there are some fairly stringent governor limits that can cause things to unexpectedly fail.
In this blog post, you will learn three easy steps to bulkify any method in Apex.
An outbound message sends information in XML format using SOAP to a specific URL endpoint. The information contains the fields specified when the outbound message is created.
It’s not possible to modify Apex code directly in production so doing deletes can be really difficult. In production, Apex classes and triggers cannot be deleted declaratively so we need to go through a special deployment process.
Understanding what Salesforce Integration Pattern to use is vital to a successful Salesforce implementation. Choosing the wrong pattern can result in a really weak architecture that fails regularly, or costs a lot.
The first step for a successful integration is understanding the goals, planning and documenting the current processes. The most important thing is to understand the stakeholders and what they need to do with the data.
Moving data between systems consistently through an integration can be difficult especially given all of the limits that Salesforce throws at us!
The purpose of this blog post is talk about all of the common reasons that a Salesforce integration could fail.
When we integrate something we are connecting two applications or systems together so they can talk to each other and share data.
There’s a lot of business benefits to integrating Salesforce with other systems whether it be your enterprise resource planning system (ERP), your accounting software (Quickbooks, Simply Accounting, etc), or even your case management system.
Salesforce has really transformed a lot of companies I’ve been involved with because it’s made the sales team way more effective and allowed all people that need access to know what’s going on.
Integrating Salesforce with other apps has the potential to dramatically improve efficiency and productivity in businesses.
Salesforce orgs tend to become cluttered with technical debt and functionality that is no longer being used. The longer the technical debt and unused functionality is allowed to exist the more expensive it becomes because of confusion, complexity, and potential project delays.
In this blog post, we have a look at how to identify technical debt and how to begin removing it.
Up until recently, if you were building websites you pretty much always used jQuery. jQuery really simplified working with the browser document object model (DOM) and doing really custom animations.
In this blog post, we go through how to jQuery with the Lightning Locker Service turned on.
One of the most beautiful things of the Salesforce platform is that almost everything can be queried. Lightning components can be queried pretty easily.
Once you know how to do it, getting the current Record Id in a lightning component or lightning aura component is pretty easy. We simply need to implement the force:hasRecordId interface in the lightning component.
