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…
Salesforce.com invited me to attend Cloudforce last Tuesday to demo my Salesforce Chatter for Android app. The reception was incredible and there is a big push to get a Salesforce.com app running on Android. Parker Harris (Co-founder & EVP, Technology) even made the statement in the keynote that,…

I'm working on a demo for Google App Engine that connects to one of our Salesforce.com Sandboxes (hope to be done tomorrow or Monday). The Force.com Web Service Connector (WSC) project has a partner-library.jar that you can download and add to your project to get up and…
I've been working on a new project the past couple of weeks that (fortunately) requires Google Web Toolkit (GWT) and I wanted to use the new UiBinder that was released with GWT 2.0 in early December for a number of reasons (clean separation of UI and code, easier collaboration…
I ran across Max Ross' blog today (he's a App Engine Engineer working on persistence) and was surprised to find a wealth of articles, code and tips on persistence using JDO and JPA on Google App Engine. Creating A Bidrectional Owned One-To-Many - Code and demo of an owned, bidirectional,…
