We all know what the sales force is and how it helps strengthen the foundation of a business. This article would be perfect if this is your first time hearing about Salesforce or if you are having trouble introducing Salesforce to your business. So let's start with the basics.

**What is Salesforce?**

Salesforce is a multi-tenant environment that provides an environment that meets the business needs of your company. This is CRM software that contains tools that your sales team will use to run your business well. You can easily record, manage and analyze all customer activity in one place with your cloud-based software. This means that you only need an internet connection to manage all your things from one place.

**Why Salesforce?**

**1.** Salesforce improves the quality and management of customer data. It's also one of the core features of any CRM on the market, but Salesforce does it better. Adding, updating, removing, and all other necessary functions can be easily done with [Salesforce CRM](https://www.cloudanalogy.com/) companies.

**2.** Better customer service and support. Salesforce gives your business a simple and durable way to improve customer service and support options. It's about improving and managing customer-business relationships by increasing the efficiency, automation, and quality of customer interactions.

**3.** New clients. Customers are the key to any business. The more customers you have, the more benefits the company will get. [Salesforce services](https://www.cloudanalogy.com/) create an excellent customer database that helps your business find the right customers who would be interested in your product or business.

**4.** Increase the effectiveness of campaigns. Salesforce provides reports and data on marketing campaigns and also tracks the applications available on the AppExchange. It can also be integrated with a number of other platforms and other programs. This, in turn, increases efficiency and facilitates marketing campaigns.

**5.** Increase profit margins. Increased efficiency increases sales and reduces costs, as well as customer satisfaction, and everything in between ultimately leads to a positive change in overall profit margins. Salesforce will help you achieve maximum value and customer engagement experience while increasing productivity.
6 Easy Steps to Find Unique Device Identifier on the iPhone

Published: 2020-09-22 05:48:12

Introduction
If you are a developer, entrepreneur, or even a user, chances are you may need a string of a long alphanumerical Unique Device Identifier or UDID for iOS development. This number is exclusive to your physical device, your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. Developers, especially, need the UDID to register devices in the process of development.

What is a Unique Device Identifier?
A Unique Device Identifier (UDID) is a unique sequence of alphanumerical (a combination of letters and numbers), particular to your device alone. All iPhones, iPad, or iPod Touch have this UDID. It is a string of a 40 alphanumerical identity (for iPhone X models and ones before that). It may resemble serial numbers you find on the packaging. For iPhone XS and the later models, it comes as a 24 alphanumeric string with a dash after the 8th digit.

6 Steps to Find UDID on iPhone
In order to register a device for testing, you need to first find its UDID.

Step One: Initiate iTunes and connect your device

Step Two: Go to Devices and select your device by clicking on it.

Step Three: Click on ‘serial number

Step Four: Your ‘serial number’ will automatically change to your UDID

Step Five: Click on the ‘Edit’ icon, then ‘Copy’

Step Six: ‘Paste’ the same (taken from iTunes menu) into your email. The email message will display your UDID.

I think that one of the most interesting part of building a project and working with a team is making sure that you all work as one single unit and understand each other's code.

One of the least discussed subjects that I think should be talked about more is exactly that, So when building a new project with a group of developers, How do you ensure that the code will be kept consistent for a long period of time?
My Journey to Computer Science as a Career Changer
Tags: beginners, firstpost
Published: 2020-09-22 04:50:03

Hi there! My name is Michelle, and I am a current student in Oregon State University's Ecampus Post-Baccalaureate Computer Science program. I made the choice almost a year ago to quit my teaching job and pursue computer science full-time. With prior degrees in Biology and Teaching, I worked as a middle and high school science teacher up until the end of last year. 

As much as I loved working with students day-to-day there were a lot of aspects of teaching that were incredibly draining on me- the feeling of constantly being a 'public figure' so to speak (not too appealing to my introvert self), the countless hours spent on grading and planning, and the increasing demands of an educational system with a whole lot of issues and not enough support. 

So why computer science? At the beginning of my last year as a teacher, I was asked to pilot a unit with my biology students that incorporated computer science along with traditional biology concepts. I led my students in creating computer models of infectious disease systems and iteratively adding to those models to make predictions and think about relationships between a disease agent, host(s), and the environment. 

While teaching this unit, I found myself coming home and wanting to try out more coding more than anything else. I loved the flexibility of it, the challenge, and the ability to make something come to life in front of me. One of my favorite things about teaching was the feeling that I was making a difference in the lives of others, and I think technology offers so many opportunities for this as well, perhaps even on a greater scale. 

Growing up, I had never considered pursuing computer science. Aside from my schools' unfortunate lack of CS courses (I think the only course offered was Video Game Design), I always pictured computer science as a pursuit mostly for boys who were great at math and liked making video games in their free time. It seems silly now, but those were the only people I knew at the time who were into CS. 

Sure, that might have been the dominant narrative at the time, but there is so much more diversity in this industry than that, and I think things have improved a lot in recent years. Lately, I've been finding inspiration from folks like [mayuko](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEDkO7wshcDZ7UZo17rPkzQ) and [The Come Up] (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-bFgwL_kFKLZA60AiB-CCQ). As I move forward in my career, I'm excited to find my own niche in the tech world. I hope the DEV community can be a place where I can find a supportive community and be open with my own learning experience. :smile:

Effective Java! Prefer Method References to Lambdas

title: Effective Java! Prefer Method References to Lambdas
published: true
description: A dive into chapter 43 of Effective Java
tags: java, effective, lambda, architecture
series: Effective Java Review
canonical_url: https://blog.scaledcode.com/blog/effective-java/effective_java_prefer_method_references/
---

One of the main benefits of lambdas is the conciseness of the code versus the use of an anonymous class. Even so, there are times that even lambdas end up with unnecessary boilerplate. In these cases we can often make use of method references which is something we even saw used in our last post. 

Method references are really just that, a reference to a method that allows us to skip the boilerplate of simply passing parameters from one place to another.  Let's look at an extremely simple example:

```java
IntStream.of(1,2,3).reduce((a, b) -> Integer.sum(a, b));
```

This is pretty simple code that simply creates an `IntStream`, sums all the values together, and returns the sum. We use a lambda as part of the `reduce` call. This isn't very verbose but the `(a, b) ->` provides us no value. Looking at this same code but with method references.

```java
IntStream.of(1,2,3).reduce(Integer::sum);
```

This indeed is simpler and I do like that it focuses on what is being done not how to do it. Not showing how the sum is accomplished by calling out directly that it is a sum that is happening. 

Almost in all cases we should use a method reference instead of the equivalent lambda. The reason for this is most of the time it increases the readability. You can even use this capability to your advantage in that you can write a method to contain all of your business logic and give it a descriptive name and call it via a method reference. If this is not the case in your code you should use the lambda instead. This may be because the containing class that needs to be called out may have a really long name or the parameter names serve as good documentation. 

Finally, the way you call a method reference changes slightly based on what kind of code it is. 

| Reference Type | Example                | Lambda Equivalent                                   | 
|----------------|------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| Static         | Integer::parseInt      | str -> Integer.parseInt(str)                        | 
| Bound          | Instant.now()::isAfter | Instant then = Instant.now(); t -> then.isAFter(t); | 
| Unbound        | String::toLowerCase    | str -> str.toLowerCase()                            | 
| Class Constructor | TreeMap<K,V>::new    | () -> new TreeMap<K,V>    | 
| Array Constructor | int[]::new    | len -> new int[len]    | 

It basically comes down to this rule of thumb, when method references are shorter and clearer (which is often the case) use them.

The 5 Best Code Editors For Web Development
Tags: editor, webdev, sublime, vscode
Published: 2020-09-22 03:58:14

# Panic

Recently Panic released their new text editor called [Nova](https://nova.app/?ref=producthunt) which reminded me of a short period of time at some point when I had a chance to use one of their text editors called [Coda 2](https://panic.com/coda/). Which prompted me to look back and remember all the text editors that I've had a chance to interact with. This is that list.

Based on a report from [software.com](https://www.software.com/src/ranking-the-top-5-code-editors-2019) these are the rating gives to 3 of the 5 text editors that I mention in this article.

![Alt Text](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/1fdugdigwp5jd4mptuyd.png)


## 1 [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/)
This has got to be my favorite by far, and unless someone creates something that absolutely outgrowns the VS Code community, I do not plan on switching anytime soon.
![Alt Text](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/x7ofl8oqpdpwrtvtl873.png)


## 2 [Sublime Text 3](https://www.sublimetext.com/)
This text editor for quite a long time was my go to. I've tried every popular package there is but unfortunately support for then does not live up to my and many others standards, which is why I made the switch over 6 months ago.
![Alt Text](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/0digcs4bhfglniuocv68.png)


## 3 [Atom by Github](https://atom.io/)
I've tried Atom for about a month, but for some reason it just didn't work out for me. Something about it felt odd.
![Alt Text](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/23i4vx782kpuzwgcpanj.png)


## 4 [Nova by Panic](https://nova.app/?ref=producthunt)
Way back when I was first introduced to web development, I was shown Code 2 by my brother. I had no clue what I was doing when I was creating those HTML and CSS files but it quickly sparked my interest. Panic has come out with a new Text editor a few days ago called Nova, and I'll definitely be giving it a try.

## 5 [Brackets](http://brackets.io/)
Years ago while still learning to code I somehow came across brackets and as far as I can remember, their tag line was 'made completely in javascript' (at the time I had not the slightest clue was this javascript was, but I liked the sound of it).
