TechEd North America Session Recap, Recording Link
Last week I had the pleasure of visiting New Orleans to present at TechEd North America. My session, Patterns of Cloud Integration, was recorded and is now available on Channel9 for everyone to view. I made the bold (or “reckless”, depending on your perspective) decision to show off as many technology demos as possible so […]
Calling Salesforce.com REST and SOAP Endpoints from .NET Code
May 2, 2013
A couple months back, the folks at Salesforce.com reached out to me and asked if I’d be interested in helping them beef up their .NET-oriented content. Given that I barely say “no” to anything – and this sounded fun – I took them up on the offer. I ended up contributing three articles that covered: […]
My New Pluralsight Course – Patterns of Cloud Integration – Is Now Live
April 9, 2013
I’ve been hard at work on a new Pluralsight video course and it’s now live and available for viewing. This course, Patterns of Cloud Integration, takes you through how application and data integration differ when adding cloud endpoints. The course highlights the 4 integration styles/patterns introduced in the excellent Enterprise Integration Patterns book and discusses […]

2012 Year in Review
December 31, 2012
2012 was a fun year. I added 50+ blog posts, built Pluralsight courses about Force.com and Amazon Web Services, kept writing regularly for InfoQ.com, and got 2/3 of the way done my graduate degree in Engineering. It was a blast visiting Australia to talk about integration technologies, going to Microsoft Convergence to talk about CRM […]
Keeping Your Salesforce.com App From Becoming Another Siebel System
September 27, 2012
Last week I was at Dreamforce (the Salesforce.com mega-conference) promoting my recently released Pluralsight course, Force.com for Developers. Salesforce.com made a HUGE effort to focus on developers this year and I had a blast working at the Pluralsight booth in the high-traffic “Dev Zone.” I would guess that nearly 75% of the questions I heard […]

August 24, 2012
I’ve spent the last few months working on a new course for the folks at Pluralsight, and I’m pleased to say that it’s now up and available for viewing. I’ve been working with the Force.com platform for a few years now, and jumped at the chance to build full course about it. Force.com for Developers […]
Measuring Ecosystem Popularity Through Twitter Follower Count, Growth
July 18, 2012
Donnie Berkholz of the analysis firm RedMonk recently posted an article about observing tech trends by monitoring book sales. He saw a resurgence of interest in Java, a slowdown of interest in Microsoft languages (except PowerShell), upward movement in Python, and declining interesting in SQL. While on Twitter the other day, I was looking at […]
Is AWS or Windows Azure the Right Choice? It’s Not That Easy.
May 10, 2012
I was thinking about this topic today, and as someone who built the AWS Developer Fundamentals course for Pluralsight, is a Microsoft MVP who plays with Windows Azure a lot, and has an unnatural affinity for PaaS platforms like Cloud Foundry / Iron Foundry and Force.com, I figured that I had some opinions on this […]

In this post, I’ll show you how to transfer data from Salesforce.com to Dynamics CRM Online using the Informatica Cloud. […]
