The Post-PC Era

Steve jobs said on the launch of Ipad, "We're living in a Post-PC era". Some of us and our clients did laugh at this. But the situation today is such that more and more clients are enquiring about Mobile applications. The other day, we were working on a proposal and I asked around for information but no one seemed to have a definite answer. Curiosity on the Mobile development, made me attend one of the Salesforce Mobile developer meetups which was conducted from April 21-27, 2013 in various cities across the world. It was an initiative to introduce the development community about the release of an updated mobile SDK 2.0 and developer mobile packs with new support for JavaScript frameworks which will help make creating third-party apps on the Salesforce platform easier.

Count your honks

By Avinash Kamat

Senior Project Manager, Oracle Practice, Manufacturing Unit, Infosys

On my first ever trip to Europe (which lasted about 2 weeks across Germany, Netherlands and United Kingdom) one of the fondest experiences I collected was road ethics. Landing back in Mumbai, the starkest reality to hit you (apart from the slums that growl back at you while your flight descends) is the constant honking on the roads. One step out of the airport and you get stunned with an absolute cacophony of honks of varying degrees. I had heard about 2 honks during my entire trip of 2 weeks (courtesy an oblivious lady in Wembley) and may have heard 20 in the first two seconds of getting out of the airport.

Salesforce.com: Social Enterprise Out, Customer's company In

In a press release on 2nd September, 2012, Salesforce announced that it has withdrawn its trademark application for the term "Social enterprise".  Also, it announced that it would not use this term in any of its marketing effort1. This decision came after objections from 'many not-for-profit' firms and people including Noble Peace Prize Laureate, Mohammed Younus. These firms were arguing that "Social enterprise" is traditionally used to describe firms working towards upliftment of human being, and Salesforce must not use it for profit motive! Did someone say what's in a name?
