I gave this presentation to my son's school to explain mathematics and comuters at a 4-6 year old level back in 2012. Feel free to take this, modify it, and share with any other kids to get them excited. Yes...the Salesforce logo might seem gratuitous, but they did ask us to share who we worked for. If you make this your own, there is zero expectation you will keep that part.

Best? Ok...hard to gauge that, but certainly these are the best least talked about features in the Salesforce APIs. And I wanted to give them a showing off at Dreamforce 2016.

When you need to send a pushed notification, the Streaming API is the way to do it. In Spring 16, Generic Streaming channels now have the ability to replay events from the previous 24 hours. In Summer 16 this will be added to PushTopics. In this talk I go over the basics of the Streaming API and discuss and show some of the features of Durable Streaming.

Slide presentation from my talk in Bilbao Spain. This was an overview of Salesforce major release Spring 16. Primary areas of focus were Lightning in Visualforce and the new Durable Generic Streaming API.

Recording of Session: http://salesforce.vidyard.com/watch/gz2QhCfxJ9-3kXx6QOGsrA Getting the most out of any new technology requires in depth knowledge of how key components behave and how to use them. Join us for an in-depth examination of the Lightning Components transport layer: the Action Service.

RESTful APIs have simplified backend access providing clean URL-based resource representations using standard HTTP methods such as GET and POST. But growth in the number of these APIs can lead to inefficiencies: if an app needs to access many of these resources at once, performance can bog down and user experience can suffer, especially for mobile devices. 'Boxcarring' is the bundling together of multiple HTTP requests into a single request. For example, a client framework might abstract the transport layer and bundle multiple requests into a single call. On the server, a RESTful API must be surfaced to accept a POST to multiple resource representations in one request. This talk will demonstrate both client and server side examples of boxcar requests.

An overview of the new Salesforce Shield Encryption feature with a focus on developer strategies with SOQL, Apex, and point-and-click development features. Peter Chittum, Developer Evangelist, and Assaf Ben-Gur, Product Manager for the encryption feature break down the key features of platform encryption, how to enable the feature, and how it fits into the context of the whole suite of security tools that every Salesforce customer has in their environment. While platform encryption preserves much of the key business functionality of the platform, some features are currently limited. As such we discuss and suggest specific work-arounds to get the most out of encryption when you decide to enable it.
