The London Salesforce Developers User Group welcomed Josh Kaplan and Andrew Waite from product management to the meeting at Skills Matter on 20 June. It was an informal discussion with presentations and discussions on several features that are new to the Summer 13 release such as Custom Chatter Publisher actions, updates to the Tooling API, and the Developer Console enhancements.

The entire room let loose a collective “Ooooo!” when Josh showed creation of a new custom field through the Apex code editor.

In addition to the cool GA features, they went on to share a number of exciting forward looking statements about roadmap and future vision for Apex, Visualforce, and a number of APIs and developer features.
