I was looking at my Chatter home page the other day. It had all the updates of my network, with necessary files as attachments. It was complete……and boring!!! Yeah, you read that right. Despite having all necessary updates, it was so mundane to look at it. It was doing its functionality alright, have no qualms about it, but I thought, ‘It could do with some tweaks here and there. I can upload my fishing photo!’
I also wanted a few other customizations and wanted to be able to share ideas...

Salesforce Launchpad – Get, Set, Code!
I still remember my first day at Eternus Solutions, fresh out of college! A tad nervous and not an inkling about Salesforce, I was apprehensive and full of anticipation, despite not knowing what to expect. Then slowly yet firmly, over the next couple of months, I took to Salesforce like a fish takes to water. I started writing lines of code and build functionality with Salesforce’s amazing ‘point-and-click’ features…and here I am today, with the experience of working on a few Salesforce...

Today, I am going to tell you how a few tricks will help ease your job while you work with two of the most commonly used Salesforce...
Time for some inSite (.com) !
I will let you in on a secret. Whenever I feel like pulling a fast one, I randomly ask my unsuspecting colleagues if they have worked on Site.com. An emphatic “YES” is the reply 90% of the times, only for me to ask them again, that perhaps it was Sites that they had actually worked on. The ‘yes’ this time would be feeble and the look on their face a priceless one!
A little history...
Salesforce introduced Siteforce as a web content management system in 2011 and later rechristened...
Fun with Progress Bars
I am sure as a Salesforce professional, you
would have run into similar situations where your customers have asked you to
build them something to track and monitor the progress of their tasks. One of
the most common ways that I have come across to achieve this representation of
information is through a progress bar, which facilitates the users with precise
and accurate information and enables them to quantify the actual progress.
Here’s a catch though! As a developer, you might...
