Good Book: Development with the Force.com Platform
# Thursday, March 11, 2010
Force.com is a truly interesting technology, and I've spoken with plenty of happy customers. Yet I've always been challenged by the way Salesforce.com talks about it. Even in what's supposed to be technical documentation, I feel like I'm being marketed to. This makes the technology harder to understand, and it also hurts their credibility.
Jason Ouellette's book Development with the Force.com Platform goes a long way toward fixing that problem. It's the first clear, complete, and trustworthy description I've seen of the Force platform. The writer does a first-rate job of explaining the technology, showing its strengths and (sometimes) weaknesses. Anybody who's interested in Force.com or cloud platforms in general should buy this book.

ESRI Developer Summit Keynote
# Monday, March 01, 2010
The people at ESRI have kindly invited me back to keynote their Developer Summit in Palm Springs later this month. I'll be talking about cloud platforms, describing and comparing some of the most visible examples, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft's Windows Azure platform, and Google AppEngine.
I also keynoted last year's event, and it was a great pleasure--it's a first-rate conference. If you work in the world of geographic information systems, this sure looks like the place to be for the last week of March.
