Salesforce Heretic

The Salesforce.com (SFDC) Heretic was born out of a post on the SFDC Developer forums by SFDC employee Dave Carrol (DevAngel) who in this post wrote:

Now, Daroz has been preaching heresy (def: A person who holds controversial opinions, especially one who publicly dissents from the officially accepted dogma of the Roman Catholic Church Salesforce.com.) about injecting script into various objects.

Over the last few months the volume of email I have received from various other Salesforce.com customers has risen steadily. While I truely believe that the Salesforce.com platform is one of, if not the most customizable CRM packages going, sometimes (ok, most of the time) I tend to push it past it’s limits. From time to time this has put me quite at odds with the developers and engineers at SFDC as I exploit hidden links and inject script onto their pages, all in an effort at making things easier or achieving more functionality. Several friends of mine have been prodding me to start a blog to post some thoughts and ideas, things that you’d never see on the AppXchange. That coupled with my increasing volume of mail, and increase in workload from other projects finally kicked me to start up this blog.

Most of what I intend to post will be technical in nature, ideas and methods to do various things on the platform. From time to time I will, as I have in the past, opine on the state of the platform, development, or industry. I may throw up a news bit or two, but for the most part I’ll leave that to Mark over at SalesForceWatch.com.
