In this episode we will try to look at what is Einstein Prediction Builder. Also, just understanding the tool/platform is not going to help us.
Though a tool is super powerful it’s of no use to us if we don’t know and where to us it. Hence I tried focusing on the three different verticals/industries where Einstein Prediction Builder can be used. I also mentioned one use case for each vertical.
If you ask me to sum it up, I would say, in case you have an object and also there exists a field that you want to be predicted, so that you can put some extra care or give a heads up to it, that’s where Einstein Prediction Builder comes to the game.
In case you have large data sets that has to be processed with Prediction Builder our work becomes a piece of cake.
Check the episode for the use cases and other stuff.

In this episode let’s look into what’s Synchronous and Asynchronous Programming and how do we do it Salesforce platform.
Synchronous Programming In Synchronous programming statements will be executed one after the other. Say, we have 10 lines of code, then each and every line will be execute one after the other. So first line has to be executed it's only then the execution jumps to the second line. Likewise, second line has to be executed, only after that execution jumps on to the third line, so one and so forth. So, If our first statement is dealing with fetching list of Account records, until we get the data, execution will not jump on to the next line.
Asynchronous Programming Asynchronous Programming is a methodology in which statements will not be executed one after the other. let’s say we have 10 lines of code and one of the statements in these 10 lines is a setTimeout() statement and lets go with the assumption that we want it to get executed after 10 secs. Then the execution comes to this setTimeOut statement and the moment the execution hits this statement, we are telling the computer I want to run this function but I don’t want to do it at least for a 10000 milliseconds in the future. So once 10 seconds from now gets passed that’s when I want this statement to get executed.
Often we use this format of coding when we want to get data from other systems or when we make AJAX calls and etc. So we make the call and the thread doesn’t know when the response is going to comeback. This is Asynchronous Programming.
We also discussed about other things in this episode. Please check it out.

In this episode we will be talking about basics of REST API, what does it do, when is it used, structure of the API URL’s, HTTP status codes, Response Format and other useful things.
What is REST API ? REST API is an architectural style that we use to make sure 2 way data transfer happen between platforms which are built on different platforms.
What are HTTP Status Codes? When we send a request from browser, server gives us back response and it will have some other useful information associated with it. One such piece of information is Status Code, this will let us know what happened at the server when we send the request.
Types of Response Format We will also be discussing about the different formats in which the server sends us back the response. Mostly used response types are JSON and XML, out of which JSON is mostly preferred. I tried throwing some light on advantages of JSON over XML.
We will also be discussing about few scenarios that I built consuming REST API.

There are very less resources which explains what Locker Service does exactly. So I wanted to make this a go-to resource when some wanted to know more about Locker Service.
So the episode starts with what’s the use of Locker Service, why is it a mandate to enable it in your org, what might happen if this is not enabled in your org and how to enable it in case it’s not enabled.
I also tried focusing on things to look after if you are considering enabling Locker Service in your org.
Apart from this other useful things are also discussed, please check it out.

In this episode we will be discussing about best practices that a developer needs to consider when he crafts Apex code.
Often when I do code reviews I see code which is not bulkified, SOQL queries being used in for Loops, public access specifier being used though it’s not required and etc. These are not only bad practices but it also make it hard for other developers to add new functionality when the size of the projects grows.
Few of the practices which I tried highlighting are
- Bulkify your code
- Proper usage of access modifiers
- Refactoring the code
- Always write code considering the governor limits
- Avoid Hardcoding
- Avoid Null pointer Exceptions
- Avoid SOQL statements in for loops
- Avoid Infinite Loops
