What was the command line tool that integrates SF with source control? I think they called it "Developer Experience" during the developer keynote. Anyone have any info on this - like when it will be available?
I have a simple process which updates all child records when the parent is updated. The problem I'm having is that occassionally a child record will have some data that was entered prior to a validation rule being created - when the process runs this child record fails validation, and in turn, causes the process to fail - returning a pretty cryptic error to the user. Is there a way to gracefully handle errors like these in Process Builder?
Our developer console in our Enterprise org has been acting up when you scroll it with the mousewheel the last few weeks, and support refuses to help with the issue becuase we don't pay them enough money I guess. 
When we try to scroll on the dev console using the mousewheel, it will keep fighting you, trying to scroll back the opposite of the direction you were trying to scroll in. This causes the window's scroll position to jerk around and makes it very hard to keep your place in large code files.
Has anyone else faced this issue? It is in Chrome
Hello

We are currently looking for a freelance deleveloper we can work with to create a custom job and schedling app that also works in with cases. We have some basic ideas about how it could work but we need someone to help us to implement these ideas. We are based in Qld Australia and woudl ultimately love to work with someone local.

Thanks
I realize this is a relativly new thing but I am new to the salesforce platform in general and not sure if my questions are lightning component specific, or more a general salesforce question, so here goes.
I am working through the workbook: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/lightning/lightning.pdf and ran into a couple things I just can't make sense of.

1. Prefix's.
    a. I know in visualforce the "c:" prefix means you're using a component. I posted the code below as a reference. In the formhelper.js line "  var action = component.get("c.getExpenses");" what is the "c." referencing?
   b. in the line "action.setCallback(this, function(a){" what is the "a"? is it related to the "A" in "$A.enqueueAction(action);"?
   c. What is the "v" prefix referencing in "var expenses = component.get( "v.expenses");"?

My best guess is that "v"  is for accessing a variable, and "c" for a component, while the "a" passed into the function is a generic placeholder for something (but Idk what...). I don't see anywhere in the code where these 3 prefixes are initialed or declared, which is throwing me off. I'm a Java guy and learning javascript as well as salesforce, so i'm sure it's something obvious that I just don't know yet. I just want to thouroughly understand the example and this piece is giving me grief.


FormHelper.js:
({
    getExpenses : function(component) {
        var action = component.get("c.getExpenses");
        var self = this;
        action.setCallback(this, function(a){
            component.set("v.expenses", a.getReturnValue());
            self.updateTotal(component);
        });
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
    },
    updateTotal : function(component){
        var expenses = component.get( "v.expenses");
        var total = 0;
        for(var i=0; i<expenses.length; i++){
            var e = expenses[i];
            total += e.zoidberg__Amount__c;
        }
        //Update counters
        component.set("v.total",total);
        component.set("v.exp" ,expenses.length);
    },
    createExpense : function(component, expense){
        
        this.upsertExpense(component, expense, function(a) {
            
            var expenses = component.get("v.expenses");
            expenses.push(a.getReturnValue());
            component.set("v.expenses",expenses);
            this.updateTotal(component);
            
        });
    },
    upsertExpense : function(component, expense, callback){
        var action = component.get("c.saveExpense");
        action.setParams({
            "expense":expense
        });
        if(callback){
            action.setCallback(this,callback);
        }
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
    }
})

formController.js:
({
    doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
        helper.getExpenses(component);
    },
    createExpense : function (component,event,helper){
        var amtField = component.find("amount");
        var amt = amtField.get("v.value");
        if(isNaN(amt)||amt==''){
            amtField.setValid("v.value",false);
            amtField.addErrors("v.value",[{message:"Enter an expense amount."}]);
        }
        else{
            amtField.setValid("v.value",true);
            var newExpense = component.get("v.newExpense");
            helper.createExpense(component,newExpense);
        }
    },
    updateEvent : function(component, event, helper){
        helper.upsertExpense(component,event.getParam("expense"));
    },
    waiting : function(component, event, helper){
        component.set("v.wait","updating...");
    },
     doneWaiting : function(component, event, helper){
        component.set("v.wait","");
    },
})
