While Salesforce releases new functionality three times a year, Lightning Components are becoming more an more important in Salesforce. In this post I want to give a quick overview of which kind of Lightning Pages we can create in Salesforce, and how do we have to design Lightning Components in order use them in such pages.
As probably some of you already know, dreamOlé ’17 is coming! dreamOlé is going to be a Salesforce community driven event that will take place on the 1st of June in Madrid.

Recently somebody asked me some questions about when to use addError, and it is true that there is always an aura of mystery about when and how to use this Salesforce method. My idea in this blog post is try to explain addError uses with practical examples, in order that it is demystified.
