Description

Visualforce, in conjunction with Apex, makes it easy to develop sophisticated, custom UIs for Force.com desktop and mobile apps without having to write thousands of lines of code and markup. The "Dynamic Binding" feature of Visualforce lets you develop generic Visualforce pages to display information related to the records without necessarily knowing which data fields to show. This is accomplished through a formula-like syntax, which makes it simple to manage even a complex hierarchy of records. "Visualforce Development Cookbook" provides solutions for a variety of challenges faced by Salesforce developers and demonstrates how easy it is to build rich, interactive pages using Visualforce. Whether you are looking to make a minor addition to the standard page functionality or override it completely, this book will provide you with the required help throughout. "Visualforce Development Cookbook" starts with explaining the simple utilities and builds up to advanced techniques for data visualization and reuse of functionality. This book contains recipes that cover various topics like creating multiple records from a single page, visualizing data as charts, using JavaScript to enhance client-side functionality, building a public website and making data available to a mobile device. "Visualforce Development Cookbook" provides lots of practical examples to enhance and extend the Salesforce user interface.

Who is this book for?

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

The code recipes are great and could really go far in demonstrating the potential of the platform. It is obvious that the author has implemented many, if not all of these recipes in real-world scenarios. However, I think this may be a dangerous book for developers new to the Force.com platform. In fact, I would not recommend it to anyone who has not worked with the platform for at least one year.The sample code that was provided was easy to download and well organized. It was also formatted properly so that you could cut and paste it straight into your development org. Very little sample code is included in the actual book, which I think helps to ensure that the book stays up to date. As long as the publisher and author continue to update the sample code with each new Salesforce release, the code should stay viable as the platform inevitably changes.I REALLY liked the chapters on JavaScript and jQuery Mobile and cannot wait to try out some of the recipes included for my clients. In short, this is an invaluable resource for seasoned Force.com developers, but should be approached with caution for newbies.

I book that guides to grow as an advanced Visual Force developer.

Sarabdeep Oct 24, 2016

A must have for an intermediate to advanced Visualforce developer. I have come across the use cases in my earlier projects and would have really loved to have this book earlier.

talkinghead Jan 14, 2015

As a long time SF consultant and developer, I found this book full of VERY useful code snippets. However, the companies website for downloading the code samples is terrible. If they would solve this problem, I'd give the book 5 stars. I'm only giving it 4 stars since without the full code samples you'll have to guess at a lot.

If you are a developer who wants to know the nuts and bolts of Visualforce Pages then DONT refer to this book immediately. Visualforce developer guide will be a better book for you. However, if you do have some programming experience in VisualForce, then this book does its job extremely well. Its a book which is like a pocket dictionary to have for seasoned Visualforce Developers.The sample code that was provided was easy to download and well organized.Chapters 6,7,8 and 9 are simply great. Even though I have worked a lot on Visualforce page there are certain areas on Visualforce Charts and Javascript which were new to me as well. So as a cookbook this book does the job very well.
