• #5: Apex – On Demand Language available on Force.com platform for development.Force.com Canvas – is like an intelligent iframe that can show applications developed in various other languages ( like showing an asp.net website inside salesforce with to and fro data communication between salesforce and the application)Connected Apps – are like integration points between the canvas and the outside applicationVisualForce – is the HTML language of Salesforce
• #8: On Demand Printing – the work includes sending data like live ISBN’s for printing to 3rd party printing vendors when there is a request for Hardcover. We do it via Outbound Messages + web services.ExactTarget Integration – Campaigns that are created in Salesforce will sync up with ExactTarget through which marketing can take control.Real Time Commerce Server Sync – The packages and services that are introduced in the business can be synced with Commerce Server Catalogs in real time. We do this in ASI world almost every minute.Custom Workflow Engine – we have developed custom workflows in apex language that trigger various points in the publishing cycle like design, editorial, proof reading, marketing and publishing on online bookstores.DupeBlocker– we use this appexchange app to control duplicate entry of leads and thus maintain a neat set of leads and contacts in the organization.ELAN Bookstore Integration – we send data from Salesforce CRM to Elan Database and keep the contact and purchase information in sync so that the user gets the real time data on our websites and even in Elan bookstore.
• #10: Visualforce Pages – they give the ability to bring the power of HTML and very recently the power of HTML5 that enable us to create pages that have life and perform operations without any delay. SOQL – Salesforce Object Query Language (this is very similar to the SQL language of Microsoft SQL Server) – just like apex, this is the Salesforce’s own DB language. The advantage is that the cloud always expects a limit in data fetch or data pump. SOQL and SOSL manages that very well.SOSL – Salesforce Object Search Language (this is also similar to SQL but is specifically used when huge data fetch is necessary in applications)Scheduled Batch Apex – we can automate certain piece of logic written in a class that executes in a scheduled interval of time in the application.Enterprise WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) is like the schema or skeleton of the salesforce organization setup. This WSDL will have information about the custom objects, classes that can be called from an external web service. We normally use this when we want a service layer that can talk to salesforce.Google Map Integration – we implemented a functionality that maps an author and freelancers near to the author’s location and assign work to nearest freelancers for co-ordinating on proof reading, design, etc.Google Chrome Extensions – we developed a chrome browser extension that pops up any chatter notifications even though the user is not logged into salesforce.
