Latest Episodes:

Episode 39 — The Gritty Reboot Jan 23, 2018

Show notes

We're back, and rambling more than ever. We chat about many things including the Spring release, IDEs and The Welkin Suite, computer keyboards and phones.

I don't think we talk about JavaScript.

Episode 38 — Jarrod Hunt Bags Developers Aug 02, 2017

Show notes

In this episode of Code Coverage Steven is off on a bit of a jolly so I'm joined by Jarrod Hunt, we discuss:

The upcoming Down Under Dreaming Conference in Sydney
Teaching code concepts to admins: what's useful for them to know
The role of BAs sitting between clients and developers
What developers could do better from a BA's point of view

There's a few surprising (at least to me) lessons for developers in here, and it's interesting to see that some of the same things developers look for a team member are the same as those that a BA might look for.

Episode 31 — What Happened There? Sep 02, 2016

Show notes

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

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

Episode 30 — Dan Appleman on Salesforce Development Over The Years, PluralSight and Lightning Apr 20, 2016

Show notes

Note: some of my audio and pronounciation goes funky towards the end of this episode. I suffered some technical difficulties that meant I was hearing myself echo at full volume with approximately half a second of delay, I think I know exactly what this feels like now - Lacey

In this episode we chat with the amazingly productive Dan Appleman (@DanAppleman); if you don't recognise that name then you can't have been around the Salesforce development community for very long! Dan makes some excellent points on a variety of topics, including:

Developing on the platform over the years and how the gotchas have changed
How the CPU time governor limit is affected by process and workflows
The joys of working with Salesforce support
His PluralSight courses:
- Apex for Programmers

His book: Advanced Apex Programming (now in the 3rd Edition)
Industry challenges that have arisen from greater levels of abstraction
JavaScript, it's use in Lightning, and what it means for developers
