I’m pleased to announce the immediate availability of the second edition of Advanced Apex Programming for Saleforce.com and Force.com
A few months ago, when SFDC announced the elimination of script limits, I knew that it had finally happened – a change that really impacted some of the content of the book. That led to some major changes in chapter three. And I figured, as long as I’m working on the book anyway; why not add a few more changes?
Chapter 6 extends the discussion on triggers to clarify some points based on questions I’ve received over the past year.
Chapter 7 has significant new content on batch apex and scheduled apex asynchronous patterns
Chapter 8 is a new chapter on concurrency issues (the later chapters have been renumbered).
Plus, there are numerous other smaller changes and additions scattered throughout the book.
All told, the book has grown by about 50 pages.
It also has a snazzy new cover – making it easy to determine going forward which edition you’re looking at.
Also, unlike last year, I’m pleased to announce that the Kindle and Nook editions are also available for those of you who prefer the eBook format.
The book available now on several Amazon.com country sites, and I’ll be linking the others as they go live. The links on the left will take you to the new edition – it will take a few weeks before all of the channel databases are updated.

I’ve been so busy for the past month that I haven’t had much time to post, but I’m pleased to say that I’ll be presenting three sessions at Dreamforce this year.
Monday at 11:15am, Moscone West -2009, High Reliability DML and Concurrency Design Patterns for Apex
It’s remarkable when you think about it, that even though Force.com is a highly scalable multi-user and multithreaded system, there is hardly any documentation on how to deal with Apex concurrency issues. I’m looking forward to shining some more light on this topic and sharing some of my own adventures (and misadventures).
Monday at 1:30pm, Hilton San Francisco Union Square – Community Success Zone Theater, Apex Design Patterns for Managed Packages
This one is for the ISV’s in the community, particularly the developers. Those of us who create managed packages are a growing minority – it’s nice to see us getting some more attention this year!
Tuesday at 5:15pm, Moscone West – 2024, Design Patterns for Asynchronous Apex
At first I was thinking – 5:15pm before the gala? Talk about bad timing. But then again, talking about timing (good and bad) is a large part of asynchronous apex, and if the late hour gives you a syncing feeling, so much the better 🙂
I hope to see many of you there. Also, be sure to attend the developer keynote on Wednesday 10:30 at Moscone South – Gateway.
And, I encourage you to visit this site sometime this weekend for another post that you may find of interest.
