59 minutes

Note: some of my audio and pronounciation goes funky towards the end of this episode. I suffered some technical difficulties that meant I was hearing myself echo at full volume with approximately half a second of delay, I think I know exactly what this feels like now - Lacey

In this episode we chat with the amazingly productive Dan Appleman (@DanAppleman); if you don't recognise that name then you can't have been around the Salesforce development community for very long! Dan makes some excellent points on a variety of topics, including:

How the CPU time governor limit is affected by process and workflows

The joys of working with Salesforce support

His PluralSight courses:

Apex for Programmers

Salesforce for .NET Developers (short course)

Data Visualisation for Developers

His book: Advanced Apex Programming (now in the 3rd Edition)

Industry challenges that have arisen from greater levels of abstraction

JavaScript, it's use in Lightning, and what it means for developers

The problems with Salesforce's ISV program, and how it might impact new developers looking to build and sell Lightning components

How the Developer Relations Team are awesome
