The DISTANCE function is now supported with location-based queries. You can calculate the distance between two location values, such as between a warehouse and a store.

DISTANCE() now works with location and address fields. You can retrieve a specific distance (say, of a store from a contact’s location) and display it to the user.

For example: With custom development, geocodes can unlock a whole new way to understand your customers and run your business. Here are some cool use cases that could be solved using geocodes:

Queueable Apex is essentially a superset of future methods with some extra features, released in Winter 15. We can say its a mixer of future methods and the power of Batch Apex! It is called by a simpleSystem.enqueueJob() method, which returns a job ID like Apex batch that you can monitor.
Queueable Apex allows following additional benefits:

TEMPLATE NOT FOUND issue due to non access of field in email Templates. Salesforce is saying that Email Template is using standard controller even for Visualforce templates using without sharing classes. So you can't send email through template if user don't have access of fields used in template!

Send email from Apex is counting against limit of email send so its necessary to send email through email template by workflow. We tried a work around and its working fine. Follow following steps:

1. Make a field on object from where email need to send.
2. Make a workflow that send email on change of above field you made.
3. Use email template that contains above made field in template.
4. Populate field when condition matched or need to send email.

As we know Continuation is used for asynchronous callouts to make long-running requests from a Visualforce page to an external Web service and process responses in callback methods. Asynchronous callouts that are made from a Visualforce page don’t count toward the Apex limit of 10 synchronous requests that last longer than five seconds.

An asynchronous callout should made from a Visualforce page and the response is returned through a callback method. So you cannot use a method that is not called from Visualforce page, but we can use action method to call Continuation callout.

When repeating action need to perform then action function is only way for asynchronous callout of Continuation.
