And guess what, you can write tests for your flows with an actual code coverage. So join me to ensure your flows are not […]
By Quality Assurance people often mean inspection. Prior to submitting a product to a customer, an inspection is conducted to find any potential defects. However, as Harold F. Dodge said, “You cannot inspect quality into a product” – the quality, good or bad, is already there. For this reason, instead of detecting defects we work […]
Did you know that style inheritance is different from style cascading, and that Shadow DOM allows some styles to pass through it? If not, join my session to learn how Shadow DOM impacts styling, the common mistakes made, and a few best practices to be followed when styling Lightning Web Components.
Do you write a lot of repetitive Apex? Do you write Javascript, then come back and find Apex clunky? Does one node of Flow look neater than a dozen lines of Apex? Then maybe it’s time to start transferring some new ideas back to Apex. Using software patterns in Apex can allow us to pass […]

So you thought you’d switch on Entitlements in Service Cloud and all your SLA requirements would be solved? Nope, then this session is for you. Practical lessons learned from optimising Service Cloud. Want to automate those pesky milestones? How about making Case Status show what you did automatically instead of being updated manually? How about […]
Often our Salesforce orgs are very tightly coupled, and within them, it’s not easy to swap out pieces of functionality when requirements change. This means development not only takes longer and costs more, but you can’t be as agile as you’d like to be. Thanks to Platform Events and Change Data Capture this no longer […]
Custom managed sharing, or programmatic sharing, is a powerful alternative when standard sharing options don’t quite fit the bill. We’ll explore how to implement effectively using code and clicks with reference to patterns described at github.com/LawrenceLoz/SalesforceSharingPatterns Managed sharing is easy to introduce but tricky to perfect, so we’ll highlight considerations and common gotchas to watch for. If […]
With the advent of the Salesforce CLI it’s easier than ever to extract your org metadata. Don’t let it sit there on your filesystem doing nothing, use it to generate documentation for onboarding, integrations and more. In this session I’ll show how to create a CLI plugin to process the extracted metadata and generate web […]
In this talk I will show how to build a Lightning Web Components app from scratch, step by step.

Salesforce CLI helps you automate many mundane tasks, however, many tasks lie outside of the “Salesforce” application lifecycle management. Gulp is a cross-platform, streaming task runner that lets you automate many of development tasks outside of Salesforce realm, such as using pre-processors like Sass or LESS. If you are an automation junkie like us and […]
Unlocked Packaging looks great, but what benefits does it really bring? How do you get there? What gremlins are hiding in the life of an org managed with Unlocked Packaging? Having run a few consulting projects with this new technology, we’ve made the mistakes and learned the lessons. In this session, will share the things […]
Salesforce development in the past has largely encouraged monolithic and sprawling code bases.

Salesforce burst on the scene with the ‘no software’ tagline and no need for servers. Now the powerhouse of AWS is edging into that territory with the ‘serverless’ tag, but no-one is talking about the overlap, and affect it will have on the future of Salesforce. Now someone will.
Have you ever built integration that pulls data from Salesforce periodically? Or have you ever built integration for Salesforce data replication in external system? Instead of Pulling data from Salesforce, CDC uses Push technology to send data to Salesforce Event Bus which clients can subscribe.
As the Salesforce platform continues to grow, it becomes harder to keep up with the latest changes, much less learn newer technologies. With the great pace of change, haphazard learning strategies don’t work. You need to optimize your approach to learning to keep up and still get enough sleep.
