May the force be with you.

"Good bye, old friend. May the Force be with you."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi, to his former Padawan Anakin Skywalker before traveling to Utapau

If you are a fan of Star wars series you will understand the importance of above sentence, this was supposed to wish good luck to the people. The force here refers to the being all powerful, maybe the almighty.

Welcome, the modern era of computer science. The technology has evolved from deskware to webware, where the computing does not actually mean sitting for thousands of hours on a computer.
Infact, with more and more net based application popping up it was about time someone made enterprise level solutions available on the web. Force.com gave the answer.

The On-Demand CRM system was one of the many solutions coming online. This was the beginning of a new era.

Force.com did to SaaS what Mc Donalds did to burgers, anyone can make good burgers, but only Mc Donald can assure you that the burger you get will be hygenic, safe and healthy.
They build the proper infrastructure for it.

Similarly anyone can come up with a website to do a CRM's work, but only Force.com can assure you that your data will be safe and the speed of operations will be increased.

The cloud computing market is picking up and there are more and more people coming up with their own SaaS product. I am working on Salesforce.com for past year and I realize this site has done wonders. Literally wonders to the world.

I was amazed at the computing power utilized by the Salesforce.com. With Visualforce you can make magic, yeah... literally magic (If you can't, then start following I will be doing some magic here too.)

All the code posted on the site is royalty free and can be used, but I do not guarantee the code to  work. Please use it at your own risk.

Some PDF tricks on Visualforce: Landscape, A4, page number and more

The beauty of Visualforce is simplicity. Remember the shock you received when you were told the entire page renders as PDF if you just add renderAs=PDF to the Page tag. For those who thought I spoke alien language right now, here is the trick, to render a page as PDF, we add a simple attribute to the <apex: page> tag <apex: page renderAs='pdf'> This will render the entire page as PDF. Now, say we need to add some extra features to the PDF. Like a page number in the footer or we need to render the page in landscape mode. Faced with this problem, I put on my Indiana Jones hat and went hunting for it in the vast hay-sack of the internet (read: googled extensively). Imagine my happiness when i found a big big page with many big big examples to solve the problem. The document I am referring to is from W3C, paged Box media . Long story short, I now possess the ultimate secret of rendering the page in any format I want. So here are few tricks I learned...

What Toilet-Training my toddler Taught Me about change management

It was a Tuesday afternoon, and I had just finished a grueling design authority session when I smelled something foul. My poker-trained eyes spotted a tell on my toddler's face: He was about to soil his pants. I then ran behind my toddler, begging him to use the toilet. Trying various methods of persuasion, I begged him to use the toilet. This scene was familiar in our house ever since my partner and I began training him to use the toilet. He giggled, darting around like it was a game of tag. As I finally caught up to him and we triumphantly reached the bathroom, I realized this chaotic scene had uncanny parallels to change management in the workplace. It's not the act in itself but the various persuasion techniques and changing behavior embedded in my toddler's whole life. Here are some of the lessons my toddler taught me in change management. Change Takes Time Just as toddlers need time to adjust to potty use, employees and team members need time to adapt to changes. ...
