Discover how to design and customize pro-code applications on the Salesforce Platform using Apex, Visualforce markup, and the Lightning Component Framework. In this 5-day class, learn how to develop and deploy custom pro-code solutions by writing and testing custom logic, and by customizing the user interface with basic Visualforce pages and Lightning Web Components. Examine how Apex interacts with no-code customizations on the platform, gain a basic understanding of no-code automation tools, and explore the nuances of working on a multi-tenant platform to build cohesive pro-code solutions that meet business demands.

Skills Gained

When you complete this course, you will be able to:

  • Design custom pro-code solutions that effectively leverage no-code customizations.
  • Write basic Lightning Web Components and basic Visualforce markup and code to customize the UI.
  • Use Apex triggers and classes to write business logic customizations that use Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL), Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL), and Data Manipulation Language (DML).
  • Test Apex by using the built-in testing framework.
  • Explain how trigger code works in accordance with the Salesforce Order of Execution.
  • Understand key fundamentals of designing programs on a multi-tenant platform.
  • Use Visual Studio Code, the Salesforce Extension Pack, and Salesforce Command Line Interface (CLI) to learn about modern tools for developing on the Salesforce Platform.

Who Can Benefit

This class is designed for developers looking to write pro-code customizations for business logic and user interface (UI) layers using Apex, Visualforce, and Lightning Web Components. Students will ideally have a solid understanding of core object-oriented programming concepts and experience building no-code solutions on the Salesforce Platform, although this is not required. This is also a great class for developers looking to earn their Salesforce Platform Developer I credential.
