  7. We constantly use data to inform our business decisions and routinely collect voluminous amount of data. As the organisation's lead developer, I always ask myself, how can I make data entry intuitively simple for the user and report the resultant information in a manner that captures the imagination of the end user. Visualforce Development Cookbook will be a great resource in learning the art and practice of creating powerful UI's that allow the creation of multiple records on a single page and creative data visualisation.

  23. Lately I've been doing quite a lot of Visualforce coding, and I found VF Developer's Guide very lacking and contains a lot of inaccurate information.

    And then a coworker asked if I've done maintaining several records on one page before or not and that's how I found your book! Simply by googling that.

    Really hope I would get my hands on your book. Thanks.
