Spring '14 Release Developer Preview Webinar

Any structure expected to stand the test of time and change needs a strong foundation! Software is no exception. Engineering your code to grow in a stable and effective way is critical to your ability to rapidly meet the growing demands of users, new features, technologies, and platform capabilities. Join us to obtain architect-level design patterns for use in your Apex code to keep it well factored, easy to maintain, and in line with platform best practices. You'll follow a Force.com interpretation of Martin Fowler's Enterprise Architecture Application patterns, and the practice of Separation of Concerns.

At Dreamforce '14 this session discussed six new technologies in development for Lightning Components, five of which have been delivered as of the Winter '16 release. We have been hard at work on improvements in a number of areas, many of which were driven by the needs of our partners and customers. Join this panel session to hear directly from the architects and developers where Salesforce is going in coming releases, and to have the chance to influence our direction.

The document discusses an upcoming Salesforce developer conference in June 2017 with technical sessions, a keynote, and discounts available.

Kevin Poorman presented 10 principles of Apex testing. The principles included using asserts to validate expected behavior, using StartTest and StopTest to reset limits, writing both positive and negative tests, testing with different user profiles and permission sets, generating own test data rather than using real data, using helper libraries to facilitate testing, mocking external services to enable unit testing, writing code in a testable way, and leveraging continuous integration to catch failing tests early. Continuous integration was said to help with multiple developers working in parallel and keeping aware of test coverage.

Aura is a UI framework developed by Salesforce for building dynamic web apps for mobile and desktop. It uses a component-based and event-driven architecture to support multi-tier development and a scalable lifecycle. Aura powers the Salesforce1 mobile app and other Salesforce products. It provides base components, controllers, and server-side logic to build apps using HTML, JavaScript, and Apex code. Lightning Components are built on the open source Aura framework.

This document compares Visualforce ActionFunction and RemoteAction for building single-page applications on the Force.com platform. It demonstrates using each approach to build a simple "This vs That" battle app. ActionFunction exposes Apex methods to JavaScript but only supports string parameters, while RemoteAction allows flexible parameter passing but requires more JavaScript code. The document also shows integrating a single-page app with jQuery, Bootstrap, Backbone and other JavaScript libraries using RemoteAction.

Sandboxes are non-production environments that duplicate a production org's metadata and can be used for app development, testing, training, and user acceptance. There are different types of sandboxes that vary in refresh frequency and amount of production data included. Managing sandboxes strategically is important for efficiently building apps. Change sets allow migrating changes between sandboxes and production. Best practices include always testing in sandboxes first, keeping security settings and data consistent, and communicating with business stakeholders.
