Need Some Spring Apps Ideas for VMforce!
November 3rd, 2010, 5 Comments
So a few months ago I promised to put together a Spring / Chatter / App Engine demo that could be possibly ported to VMforce. Since our Handbook is off to the printers, I’m back to doing fun stuff! I’m looking for some ideas for a demo project that you typically wouldn’t do natively on [...]

Yesterday at Appirio we had a private demo of the WaveMaker platform from the guys at WaveMaker.
