Blast from the past – TiConf 2014 Session Video

I still remember the time when Appcelerator introduced the Titanium framework several years back. I was fascinated with it and kept playing around with it and helping improve it via community efforts for days, weeks and months, eventually becoming the first ever ‘Appcelerator Titan’ in India!

Since then, I’ve several fond memories of being a part of the Titanium ecosystem – becoming the organiser for Bangalore Titanium Developer Group, attending CodeStrong and last but not the least – speaking at TiConf 2014 – the leading Titanium community conference.

Bootstrapping the Force.com PHP Toolkit – Wrap up!

Earlier this year, I spent a couple of weeks re-visiting the Force.com PHP Toolkit and decided to enhance it with a modern user interface and some useful features such as CRUD operations and import/export to CSV.

I’ve cleaned up the code now and it’s available on my Github repo. Let’s do a quick recap of the earlier tutorials and what we covered in each of these.

Blast from the past – My Senchacon 2013 Session Video

Over the years, I’ve had the good fortune of being a speaker at some of the most interesting and exciting technology conferences. One of these was at SenchaCon 2013 – the session I presented at the conference was ‘Enterprise Grade Analytics Using Sencha Touch Charts’.

Although it’s been nearly 3 years since then, I occasionally receive requests to share the code/ video/ slide deck for this session, so I decided to spend some time writing about it.

Bootstrapping the Force.com PHP Toolkit – Part 3

In the last tutorial, we learnt how to enhance the Force.com PHP Toolkit by building a Contact Detail page and doing CRUD operations on the user interface for Contact records. In this post, we’ll look at how to import and export Contact records into a CSV file.

2015: My Salesforce Year In Review!

“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot”- Michael Altshuler

I started this year still fresh from a personal tragedy and trust me if you’re an emotional person like I am,  – it’s not easy to lose someone who’s been around all your life and move on in a matter of days. Anyway, I’ve always found solace in several things which thankfully includes my job, learning new technologies and being part of several closely knit communities – that helped cope up with an irreparable loss.

Unsurprisingly, Salesforce played a key role in terms of how my year unfolded so here’s a quick re-cap of my 2015 year in review.

Jaipur Hackathon Team Calling all AngularJS Lovers – ng-conf Extended Jaipur Edition is here!

I still remember the time I heard the word ‘DOM’ more than nearly two decades back and to be honest, it’s still one of the most dreaded words in my dictionary. The good thing though is JavaScript as a language has matured significantly – I wish I could say the same about me maturing with age.

I personally think it’s frameworks such as Angular.js (and many similar frameworks) which have actually made JavaScript one of the most popular programming languages globally. Therefore, it’s no surprise that ng-conf, a community conference on Angular.js that started last year is one of the most sought after events this year.

And the best part – ng-conf extended edition is coming to our ‘pink city’ Jaipur thanks to Jaipur Hackathon! Read on to know more
