Calling the Force.com REST API from Visualforce Pages, Revisited Longtime readers may remember the series of posts I wrote in early 2011 on calling the Force.com REST API from JavaScript running on Visualforce, off-platform web pages, and PhoneGap hybrid apps. Those posts spawned the Force.com JavaScript REST Toolkit (in particular, forcetk.js), which, in turn, became part of the Salesforce Mobile SDK.

In Visualforce #summer13, you no longer need to use the Ajax Proxy to hit the @ForceDotCom REST API. Check it out: blogs.developerforce.com/developer-relations/2013...

So...I have some of #Summer13, but not all of it. @chatter topics - yes, new setup - no. @salesforce - what's happening? #na5

Whoa! Just logged in to an org with #Summer13 already and got confused for a second there. Monday is going to be an adjustment for me.

Salesforce Unveils Its Communities Platform For The Enterprise Salesforce has launched Communities, a service enabling companies to create a social portal for customers and partners.

Trying out @Salesforce Communities in the #summer13 preview - VERY nice! Good article and video here thenextweb.com/insider/2013/05/02/sales...

Apex Test Code Segregation Starting with the Summer ’13 release of the platform, Apex test methods need to be created in test classes.  (A “test class” is one marked with the @isTest annotation.)  Test methods will no longer be able to compile in the same class as your regular executable code.
