Salesforce Integration Patterns and Practices

When you implement Salesforce, you frequently need to integrate it with other applications. Although each integration scenario is unique, there are common requirements and issues that developers must resolve.
There are a some standard patterns to design a architecture of a particular business requirement.
Pattern Scenario
Remote Process Invocation—Request and Reply Salesforce invokes a process on a remote system, waits for completion of that process, and then tracks state based on the response from the remote system.
Remote Process Invocation—Fire and Forget Salesforce invokes a process in a remote system but doesn’t wait for completion of the process. Instead, the remote process receives and acknowledges the request and then hands off control back to Salesforce.
Batch Data Synchronization Data stored in Force.com should be created or refreshed to reflect updates from an external system, and when changes from Force.com should be sent to an external system. Updates in either direction are done in a batch manner.
Remote Call-In Data stored in Force.com is created, retrieved, updated, or deleted by a remote system.
UI Update Based on Data Changes The Salesforce user interface must be automatically updated as a result of changes to Salesforce data.

Salesforce.com: Expression Operators in Salesforce lightning Components

Image
Generally In every component implementation we have a need to  change the UI conditionally, or show/hide a section/column based on certain conditions. We need simple ways to do this instead of having every handler in code. Below are key operators and their syntax to handle any such situation Ternary Operator This expression uses the ternary operator to conditionally output one of two values dependent on a condition. 1 <a class="{!v.location == '/active' ? 'selected' : ''}" href="#/active">Active</a> The {!v.location == ‘/active’ ? ‘selected’ : ”} expression conditionally sets the class attribute of an HTML <a> tag, by checking whether the location attribute is set to /active . If true, the expression sets class to selected . Using <aura:if> for Conditional Markup <aura:attribute name="edit" type="Boolean" default="true"/> <aura:if isTrue=&qu

Salesforce.com: Scheduled Apex

The Apex Scheduler lets you delay execution so that you can run Apex classes at a specified time. This is ideal for daily or weekly maintenance tasks using Batch Apex. To take advantage of the scheduler, write an Apex class that implements the Schedulable interface, and then schedule it for execution on a specific schedule. Scheduled Apex Syntax To invoke Apex classes to run at specific times, first implement the Schedulable interface for the class. Then, schedule an instance of the class to run at a specific time using the System.schedule method. global class SomeClass implements Schedulable { global void execute(SchedulableContext ctx) { // awesome code here } } The class implements the Schedulable interface and must implement the only method that this interface contains, which is the execute method. The parameter of this method is a SchedulableContext object. After a class has been scheduled, a CronTrigger object is created that represents the scheduled job. It p
