It’s always hot in the summertime, and Ryan and I tried to heat it up a notch by spreading the word on all the new things coming out in the Summer ’13 release. If you missed it but you want to see the full show, you can find the recording on youtube.

Visualforce allows you to upload JavaScript, CSS and image files for your app as “static resources” to extend its capabilities. But since they are static, you need to zip and re-upload them if you modify them. This could be laborious when you are editing 100s of times during development. The workaround is to setup a local web server and simply serve JS/CSS files from it instead of uploading them as static resources until you are done editing.
In the Summer ’13 release of the Visualforce Developer’s Guide we’ve greatly expanded, revised, clarified, and otherwise improved the documentation for global variables, especially for $Setup, $Component, $Action, and $ObjectType.
