Generally Available Features for Force.com Developers in Summer ’12
One of the great things about Salesforce.com’s annual three release schedule is that it allows for piloting and previewing new features before they get rolled out to the general audience. This allows us to test things out more thoroughly while developers and admins are kicking the tires of the features themselves. Summer ’12 has some great features going generally available, and here’s your quick list to them:
Single View State

Developing Cross-Device HTML5 Apps Using Visualforce
Quick poll before we begin. What device are you reading this blog post on? Desktop? Smartphone? Perhaps an iPad? A Blackberry Playbook? (just kidding!) I happen to be lucky in that I don’t have to do anything different in my writing to support all these different devices and form factors.
Its not that simple however if you’re building a modern Web application for the Social Enterprise. We’re living in a post-PC world where in the most recent quarter, Apple’s total revenue from its iPhone business alone (not even counting iPads) was greater than Microsoft’s total revenue for the quarter.
