R1D36 Mobile App Customization in Salesforce
I spent day 36 working through the mobile app customization in Salesforce module on Trailhead. The Salesforce mobile app itself provides a mobile experience powered by the new lighting UI which allows you to use Salesforce on the go.
That in itself is cool. The really amazing part is that when you are developing custom applications for salesforce you can leverage the entire mobile experience without really having to think about it too much. If you are using the new lightning UI then you can really “write once, run anywhere” when it comes to desktop, and native mobile applications.
In the module we learned how to customize the mobile layouts to make the experience better for users. For instance, you may only want to add a handful of fields to a record when you are working on a phone. Rather than making your users scroll endlessly to find the fields that they care about, you can optimize the mobile experience with a few clicks rather than recreating distinct UIs for mobile and desktop.

“From digital mischief to outright destruction”
The 1980s and 1990s PC viruses were a special breed. The MS-DOS operating system wasn’t particularly secure – few home computer operating systems were back then – so viruses could spread quickly, and many did. Some of the viruses focused more on actually w...

As a child, I was never a fan of any actor or singer. David Bowie is the closest thing to a “music idol” I’ve ever had. I never had a poster of him on my wall, or a T-shirt with his face on it, but he was a constant presence in my playlists, to the point w...
