Still not dead. Getting damned close to episode 50, might actually see that prior to 2025.  In this episode we chat about Steven's adventures into AWS and React, Salesforce as a platform, and a few other odds and ends. I honestly don't know if anyone ever reads this but I failed to make any notes while recording and don't want to listen all the way through because I'm busying trying to make Google Cloud functions function.  Stay safe, stay well, do good things.  Lacey (and that other guy).

Episode 49 - Back After Technical Difficulties

I would write some show notes, but time is tight, hence this is late. We DO talk about Salesforce a bit, with some quick comments on Bob (??) and... something else.  Also F1, because Steven likes racing cars now.

Episode 48 - Approximately a Salesforce Podcast

We broke some world records or something and recorded again. This time we actually do talk about Salesforce for the whole show. Well, most of it. Some. Some of it. We definitely talk about Salesforce.

Episode 47 - 98% Salesforce Content

A whole lot of waffle (what else would you expect) with the occasional mention of Salesforce.

Episode 46 or 71 or Something

It's a new highly anticipated episode of what might be the world's most irregular and/or infrequent podcast, with more waffles than ever. In this episode we talk about:  Zoom, Neal Stephenson, the ATO and security scares Matt overthinking things and forgetting his Salesforce basics (i.e. query selectivity in triggers) Formula One 10x developers Working out when to upgrade your tools Accenture's SF Power Kit for DX Testing Motorbikes, cars and servicing  You can find Accenture's SF Power Kit here: https://github.com/Accenture/sfpowerkit The Ad:    The snails:

Episode 45 — Season 2 or Something

In this episode we're coming to you live from last year, where we're recording at Down Under Dreaming (yes, with a 'g'): Brisbane Edition. In this episode we talk more Salesforce than usual in front of a real audience, and talk to both Emily Hey and Doug Christ who was visiting from the US.

Episode 43 — The Brisbane Time Glitch

Against all odds, it's an episode of Code Coverage. Topics discussed include: * Audio problems, not knowing we were actually having some (doh) * A brief tour or some of the features from Spring '19 * Salesforce and devops, or not * The end of a an era Aura * Lightning Web Components and their likely impact * New flow builder * The latest release of OS/2

Episode 44 — Did We Miss Something?

We really do mean to publish more often. Promise. We even line up times and and everything.   It's us again, talking somewhat about Salesforce, but with a few (ok, many) inevitable tangents thrown in. Some of the topics covered:   * Forcelandia and Dreamforce * Being a male ally * IDEs and Salesforce (again!) * Cars and the software that runs them

Episode 42 — The Guilt

Another year passes, another episode gets release. Well it feels like that anyway. This took a week or so to publish after recording because our tracks got out of sync somehow. It sounds like my track (Matt) has been sped up slightly, with a few glitches pulling them back in time on occasion. So, apologies for that. Topics discussed in this episode:  Some actual code that Steven wrote My washing machine Dealing with release bugs Mobile Operating Systems and virtual assistants CRUD, FLS and Security Reviews Salesforce IDEs and tools Software development / programming books we like

Episode 41 - Version 3dot14 Beta

Lo and behold, we recorded again. It's almost becoming a habit. Once again you're stuck with myself and Steven rabbiting on about all sorts, including:  Using bookmarks in your browser (bleeding edge stuff here) Salesforce (some new cloud thing) Deployment antics and packages How to break production environments Trailhead, DX and Git - the new learning curve Lightning experience performance Steven's ambitions to be Eminem, certifications and badges Where our listeners (you are very much appreciated!) are located around the world

Episode 40 — The Grittier Gritty Re-reboot

A fortnightly podcast with developers working with all things Salesforce and Salesforce1. Especially force.com (Apex, Visualforce) but also Heroku and ExactTarget.

It seems like a great podcast for Salesforce developers which I am hopeful of becoming... but the audio in some of the episodes is hard to hear when playing off my phone which is the only option I have sometimes...  on top of which the podcasters are speaking in a low murmur at times ... which is not something I mind but I would definitely love to be able to understand the words being said....

Great stuff??

These guys know exactly the kinds of things that I go through as an SFDC Developer.  It&#39;s fun being a fly on the wall during their conversations.

Love this podcast, just wish they'd publish more often!

Episode 36 — There Is Potential Here...

So we accidentally had another hiatus. This was entirely unintentional and we've talked plenty about recording, it's just that sometimes life (and work) happens.  We're back... again... and planning to keep up some momentum this time.  Steven wrote some code and a tester found some bugs A novel use of reports to do calculations akin to a roll-up summary Matt found a quirk with SOQL's DAY_IN_WEEK() function Swatch Internet Time Various tools we use:   Illuminated Cloud! The IDE Salesforce developers deserve TestPilot - automated test runs and org backups Gearset - a solid Salesforce delpoyment tool   Pains with using other people's computers (a.k.a. the cloud) Matt  bought a computer that he likes to use a lot Stephen bought a more powerful computer that is happy to play multiple games at once
