    Salesforce on Rails with the Databasedotcom Gem
    Daniel Rice Back-End
    Feb 28, 2012

    At Highgroove, we’re always looking for new Ruby gems to help speed up development and keep the code DRY. The gem I found this time was Heroku’s very own Databasedotcom gem, a fantastic Salesforce.com API wrapper for Ruby! I must admit, I wasn’t very surprised to find a gem since Salesforce owns Heroku, but I did not expect it to be so fantastic and easy to use. Here’s how!

    Why Highgroove has a Personal Trainer
    Bree Stanwyck
    Feb 21, 2012

    At Highgroove, we have a personal trainer, Cherri, on-staff and on-site, available twice a week to us, scheduled via appointment slots using Google Calendar.
