I became a Salesforce Certified Pardot Specialist earlier this week, which was nice… I didn’t really have much in the way of Pardot experience so I wasn’t sure how successful I’d be with the exam. There seems to be a lot of demand for Pardot recently, and at Silver Softworks we’ve had several customers ask […]
For those of you who were unable to witness me nervously stumbling through my talk on Test Driven Development a couple of weeks ago, a video of my (and everyone else’s) talks is now available on YouTube. As I mention at the beginning of the talk, London’s Calling was my first time really standing up […]
As I’m sure many of you are aware, London’s Calling finally came around last Friday. Leading up to the day, I really had no idea what to expect.

We all know we need them, we all know that it is best practice to remove logic from the triggers themselves for several reasons (discussed below), and we all know what a […]
I’m going to talk about test driven development. Specifically, how you can use it on the force.com platform to improve the quality of your code. I’m a massive fan of using TDD with Apex. To be frank, I don’t understand how people write Apex code without TDD. Debugging is a slow, painful process on the […]
I had an interesting problem with checkboxes on a VisualForce page this week. Users needed to be able to select one item in a list as the “Main” record. Only one record can be the main, so when a box was ticked, the other boxes needed to be unticked. I couldn’t really find a complete […]
