Salesforce's annual conference, Dreamforce, has become the largest software conference in the world, and it's happening in TWiT's backyard. So Leo sent Megan Morrone, host of iOS Today and Tech News Today, to check it out.

Megan had the opportunity to speak with some kids learning to code. Salesforce has partnered with local public schools and Code.org to teach middle school students how to use code to create jousting LEGO robots. She also spoke with members of the leadership team at Salesforce for Startups, the organization credited with launching the Salesforce Incubator, a program where a dozen startups are mentored by the cloud computing giant. She also spoke with the finalists in the Dreampitch competition, a Shark Tank inspired event!

Frida is a Greasemonkey for native apps, or, put in more technical terms, it's a dynamic code instrumentation toolkit. It lets you inject snippets of JavaScript into native apps on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. Frida also provides you with some simple tools built on top of the Frida API. These can be used as-is, tweaked to your needs, or serve as examples of how to use the API.
