Im working as front end dev and i have 9yr of IT experience & getting 15LPA. Planning to change my domain from FE to salesforce developer. Is that good idea to change & will i get better package than 15L? Bcoz i'm fresher for salesforce developer?
On the Salesforce Lightning Platform, the primary language for front-end development is Javascript, HTML, CSS which we call Lightning Web Components or Aura Component in Salesforce, and component libraries are built with core Web Components that run natively in the browser.
Therefore you are not fresher for Salesforce Developer.
To reply to your question - Is it a good idea to change & will I get a better package than 15L
Salesforce has fantastic earning potential. With Salesforce customers competing for the best talent, the ecosystem's supply and demand problem is driving up wages. And, as a Salesforce Developer, you will undoubtedly benefit from the market's competitiveness, as well as, Salesforce positions—an estimated 3.3 million new jobs by end of 2022.
Yes, you can earn more salaries by coding in Salesforce! Work with this hot, new job industry and I guarantee you will get a more percentage hike if you do well.
Also, Salesforce has grown at a 25 percent annual rate over the last four years and has ambitious plans to double its growth over the next four.
So, you can start planning to switch to a salesforce developer.
Please let me know if this answer helps your query. And also, I wish you all the best for the future :)
Thanks.

Can anyone help me to decide which technology(s) to use in a work project?
I need help with some technical issues related to the job I joined 2 weeks ago and would like to know if someone with more experience could help me.
The help I need is to make one decision about which technology(es) I should use in to continue the development of an app that connects patients and doctors in a specific area of medicine, having a dashboard with chat (persistent), calendar/schedule, financial and other things less impactful.
The front-end is "practically" ready with NextJS 12 and (as I understand it) has a basic "pre-implementation" of session management with cookies and Firebase to Google and Facebook Auth) and the main question are about:
whether it will be better and/or necessary to make a separate back end (outside of NextJS's "serverless" API concept) fully or partially (in this case, which parts will be separated?),
Reason of this question: it's my first job as a Node JR backend developer and the company that hired me suffered from an "exodus" of 80% of employees due to problems in negotiations about salary and workload, so I was "kind of in the lead" of the project over the which I have doubts.
Thanks in advance!
I've searched a lot for several hours about NextJS serverless concepts in many cases, but I have no time to test implementations and the app should have a chat, store documents and payments.
I confess that I am inclined to prefer to make a separate backend, in view of the more well-known traditional advantages, but I would still like to have a little more understanding (especially about the more punctual differences between custom server and Next in this case) to defend the decision that is taken.
I am trying to develop web application but I can't decide which framework to choose for front-end.
I could use Vue.js, Angular, React or Vanilla.js.
What are the parameters we need to consider while choosing front-end technology?
Stage of your business Your technology stack plays an important role at every stage of your business. If you’re just starting out, your primary goal must be launch the MVP as quickly as possible. Any language/framework/CMS tool that lets you put together a working prototype in the shortest possible time should be a good fit. WordPress is the ideal choice for a customer facing website or building a landing page as you do not require heavy programming knowledge. If your business is in the finance or banking space that requires security from the onset, opt for Java from the beginning.
Project requirement Before choosing any tech stack, understand the requirements of the project. Does your app require real-time functionality, such as a chatbot or live chat? In such cases, go with a tech stack that is good at concurrency, such as Node. If you’re a blogger who requires a functional website to increase conversions, WordPress or Drupal will work best. Is your frontend UI full of complex interactions? Then React or Angular may be good front-end tech stacks. Complete understanding of the project goals and business objectives along with the right selection of tech stack plays an important role in long-term success. Wrong selection may lead to financial loss.
Availability of resources The availability of developers who will create your product is one of the most influential factors defining your company's technology stack. Look whether your developers are willing and able to work within your chosen tech stack. Suppose you select a programming language not in common use such as Lisp, you will be hard-pressed to find programmers who know how to use it. If they do, they’ll charge a premium. Pick a tech stack that has a dynamic developer community. Commonly used programming languages will thrive in the near future and as a business owner it is easy for you to add new developers to the team.
Development and maintenance cost The technology stack directly influences development cost. There are a couple of factors to consider before picking up the right tech stack:
The cost of hiring a developer: Developers must be skilled professionals and the cost of hiring them varies based on the technologies they work with. Maintenance cost: The job doesn’t get over with the development completion of the MVP. Take into account the maintenance and upgradation cost. Consider sticking to open source technologies because they are cheaper and can be updated and changed without any restrictions.
Time to market Time to market is perhaps the most important for all startups. The faster you develop and launch your application, the more exposure you’ll get. Also, the less the time you spend developing initially, the more time you get to learn from the feedback of the users. Here is a list of the common issues you must consider while choosing a suitable tech stack: Third-party integration: Make sure the technology stack you choose allows third-party integrations, to integrate the features you need into your web or mobile application without reinventing the wheel. Developer availability: To turn your idea into a great web application, you need to have an experienced team of developers that can use the tools you choose and work with you in the long-term. Ask them if they will offer post-launch support. Testing: Make informed decisions based on how easy it would be to run tests on the chosen platform. No software product is developed perfectly the very first time. The chosen tech stack should allow you to fix bugs or tweak features easily without eating up a lot of time.
Scalability and security Products require a well-defined scalability matrix that works on both the scenarios either vertically or horizontally. Vertical scalability: lets you add more features on top of the core value proposition of your product. Horizontal scenario: lets you handle increased volume of users and transactions on the platform. Security Always make sure the application is developed keeping the best practices of security and threat mitigation in mind. Run security tests both on client and server side to eliminate the common security threats. The more robust your product is, the easier it becomes to sell in the market. At the end, make a choice that works best for your business. You can choose the technology to go with, based on your business goals, requirements and the resources you can afford.

I know that SuiteScript is the NetSuite platform built on JavaScript that enables complete customization and automation of business processes.
I want to know that SuiteScript is in demand? How would be the future if I do following certifications
SuiteFoundation Certification
SuiteCloud Developer Certification
I've worked with NetSuite development (SuiteScript 1.0 & 2.0, administration, and integrating NetSuite to many other systems) for about seven years now. I have no NetSuite certifications, and I have never found a need for them.
That being said, some employers think highly of certifications. Whether you need the certs really depends on whether you can be self taught and whether the company you want to work for wants you to have them before you are hired.
I have been working on NetSuite for 4 years now. I have done SuiteScript 1.0, 2.0, workflows, searches, reports, etc (all normal admin and developer tasks with NetSuite basically). I am now certified Developer (meaning I passed the 2 exams you mentioned) and because I am a consultant I am now a certified ERP consultant as well. I will probably take the analytics, admin, and eventually SuiteCommerce as well.
So with that background, the answer to your question depends on what you want to do. If you are already working with a company who is using NetSuite, an end client probably doesn't care a ton about the certifications. If you are looking to get a job in this, then it may help you a lot. If you are looking to be a consultant, it will probably be a requirement at some point. For consulting companies, certifications help them look better to clients.
I also will add that I find that by studying for and taking the tests I have learned about features I did not have exposure to prior. This pushes me to learn those areas, talk to others, and better my overall skills beyond the exam itself. If you are only self taught, in my experience, you eventually fall into the "if your own tool is a hammer, than every problem looks like a nail". You won't have all the possible tools to do the best job
I personally found my certifications valuable. Last year, I completed the SuiteFoundation and Administrator exam, both of these guided me into different segments of NetSuite I had never used before.
I'm currently studying for the SuiteCloud developer exam, and I've had the same experience. It's forcing me to look into new modules and test out new functionality. With that being said, I'm a jr. level developer at best, so combining my js training with NetSuite-specific training is relevant.
There is a solid website that recently did a informal survey on this topic, if you want to learn more about value added from NS certifications you can visit: https://netsuite.smash-ict.com/
I recommend all NS newbies to complete the SuiteFoundation training. This applies to everyone, developers, admins, and end-users.
I'm brand new to Dynamics CRM and have been asked to see if this is a viable replacement for the employee tracking software we're using now (AlexSys Team 2 Pro). We're not so much of a sales based company as the tutorials i see for CRM focus on. I know CRM is more for customer relations and sales tracking but i also know it's highly customizable and can do what i need it to do. I need something that keeps track of how many new tasks have been created and how many have been done and to show a graph or a report with the results. I've looked at some PluralSight videos and some windows videos but they all seem to focus on and really push the use of its sales side usability. We do sell our product here (i work at a software development company) but we need something that isn't focused on sales and is usable to management for tracking progress. So for example, lets say im aksed to do 4 things(tasks), I do 2 of those things and am in the process of handling my 3rd. I'm not a sales agent, lets say im a programmer, I need CRM to be able to show my manager that I had 4 new tasks, completed 2, and if possible to show that im in the process of working on the 3rd. AlexSys Team gives you different options for what state the task is in, such as In-Process and Completed but it does poorly when it comes to reporting. Are there any good places to learn how to do that in CRM, we are not using a partner and will not have someone coding this or changing this for us, i will possibly be the one working on that so i need something that can help show me how to customize it without constantly talking about sales. Im off to watch more PluralSight videos but maybe a user here knows of somewhere better to learn from or maybe just a specific PluralSight video i may have missed. Thanks for any input.
Dynamics CRM is as you've discovered very customisable and will almost certainly meet the requirements you've described. Whether it is the correct choice only you can decide.
YouTube is a really good resource for CRM videos, you can also take a look at the CRM 2011 Technical Training Videos on Channel 9 produced when the product was first released. These give a high level overview of CRM 2011 technical capabilities.
You may want to look at the basics of Activities ( in particular Tasks ) and Queues. Make sure you're clear on the usage of Status and Status Reason and how you can customise them. For reporting you can either use the built-in dashboard capabilities or create your own SSRS reports using BIDS that can be hosted within CRM. The process of producing these reports whilst subtlety different will be easily understood by anyone with some some basic SSRS skills.
I'd recommend enlisting the help of a partner in the first instance even if it's to just verify your initial design. The overall cost of their time in relation to the install and running costs of CRM won't be too significant and they may even be able to save you some money.
I'm not sure of a better place for videos, but I can speak to CRM's ability to serve as a rapid application development platform and the areas it excels. It allows you to create new fields and entities (think Database Tables) without touching a database, as well as customize forms, roles, and security with 0 code. You can also sign up for a free months trial online to setup a quick Proof of Concept.
There is so much that it can do, and do quickly, that your company may be better served to seek outside help, resulting in a better product, delivered quicker, with less overall costs than trying to do everything "in-house".
My company is in need of a task management system to handle scenarios as simple as "Purchase a computer for X" to "Relocate a person to another country". The simple scenarios are a single tasks handled by a single person, whereas bigger tasks can be broken down into multiple sub tasks delegated to multiple people during the workflow. Additionally the clients and vendors need their own views into the process.
We are evaluating different solutions from a custom application built on Workflow Foundation to SharePoint to BPM products like Metastorm and BPM.Net.
Here's my current understanding of these solutions:
Workflow Foundation - Low level workflow designer and/or library with no host environment. It seems we would have to reinvent some wheels if we went this route such as fault tolerance and document management. Some of the answers on stack also cause concerns such as the lack of versioning and a complete overhaul for VS10/.NET 4.0
SharePoint - Built for document management and collaboration but trying to create advanced workflows and tasking on top of that seems like a hack. Plus all workflows have to be tied to either documents or lists. I cant envision how a list (or list of lists) can address this issue.
BPM products - Mature workflow engine at a seemingly high price. BPM.Net is the only solution for which I could find some level of technical detail but im still not sure how different developing against this product would be from developing against Workflow Foundation.
Are there any workflow engines dedicated to solving all the workflow pains that can be easily deployed with their own hosting environment and initiated through a webservice?
Are there any other options I am missing?
Thanks in advance.
****Edit**
To answer the questions below the workflow needs are pretty light. Basic routing of tasks to approvers and subcontractors.
Whats driving us too look deeper than PM software is the nature of the business not the need for advanced workflow. We are basically in the business of procuring goods and services through subcontractors for our clients which can also include full employee relocation. The interface of the package should reflect this by being customer branded as well as intuitive for this line of business.
Basically if im moving my family to the other side of the world Im not sure i'd want to interface with Jira or Sharepoint or any other PM software to facilitate this.
If you are on Microsoft stack I would definitely recommend SharePoint for this scenario. As it seems to be very simple you can go with Windows SharePoint Services edition because it is free and it has everything you need.
You are right when you say that ShartePoint workflow are bit limited. IMHO the best way to overcome that limitation is to purchase Nintex workflow to create your workflows. It is cost effective solution that can help you design workflows you need.
You can find workflow samples inside the product (as workflow templates) and on the web site.
Nothing you mentioned has much to do with workflow. You're just doing project management. If that's the case, a simple bug tracker (like FogBugz! ;) would work - but if you're going to show it externally, it may not be the most professional presentation.
The closest off the shelf solution I can think of would be Project Server - though, depending on the number of projects and project managers, the desktop Project with a sync to a webserver for client views may be enough.
If that's overkill - because your projects don't require a lot of resource scheduling, Gantt charts, or other PM artifacts - you can take something like Trac and replace "bug" with "task". ;) (Seriously though, that'd probably get you 90% of the way there.....)
Have you looked at RT? I believe it can handle all your requirements, including that it's designed to let customers interact with the system by email, rather than having to log into the website. If you've emailed IT support desks then you've probably interacted with it without knowing... You can also completely customise the web interface and allow customer access.
Can't vouch for the quality as I haven't used it, but I did watch an online-demo video of Intalio, which has BPM and workflow capabilities.
We use Basecamp to control this sort of "task management" stuff. I'm not sure if it fits your needs totally, as it's a little light on the document management side, but it has a web service (REST) API, customer / vendor facing components, and basic interaction / chat capabilities.
The best part about it is that the API is simple enough where you can offload a lot of the "management" for it to admin support personnel, like assistants and interns, by providing custom scripts. If you've got people who aren't programmers using it you'll probably have better luck with it than even something like Trac or FogBugz.
I have/am going through a similar process. We wanted a lightweight workflow for internal use by our sales team. Most of the third party apps we looked at ,K2 and Skelta BPM.Net in particular, looked way over the top for what we needed. I'm now 2 months into working with Windows Workflow Foundation 3.0 and I have to say it isn't the most pleasant coding experience I've had.
If your workflows will truely be simple then it is pretty easy to build a workflow and hook it up to some web pages for the UI. But if you need to be able to change it on the fly, or do versioning (ie the user says we want another step added, then its a whole lot of hacking to get it to work - and it only works if you limit your workflow to being really simple), then you are in for a fair bit of work. And forget about it if you use an Oracle database.
The next version of windows workflow will have it's own runtime environment, code name dublin, with will provide a WCF interface into the workflows.
If your timeframe allows you could use that.
For information on Dublin and the next version of WF see:
http://www.microsoft.com/net/dublin.aspx
My vote is for FogBugz. Unless I am missing something in your requirements, why would you want to reinvent the wheel by using a code based workflow solution where you have to code up the flows yourself when you can use a perfectly good project dependency solution like FB or even MS Project Server - which lets you create nice dependencies for resources and people.
Check FileNet
FileNet is expensive but makes a good job with content and process management, but I guess is not what you are looking for.
We use Captaris Workflow, it is pretty good but it may be expensive for your needs.
