Build Applications Programmatically on the Salesforce Platform

Are you a programmer who wants to understand how to programmatically customize applications on the Lightning Platform? In this course, you'll gain fundamental knowledge of the Apex programming language and Visualforce markup that you can then use to customize your applications on the Lightning Platform. In hands-on exercises, you will create data objects (sObjects) and learn how to retrieve, modify and save the data associated with these objects. You will write your own custom logic using Apex triggers and classes and test this logic within the built-in testing framework. You will also explore how Apex code interacts with declarative customizations on the platform and the intricacies of working with a multi-tenant platform. You will then look at the general techniques for designing solutions in Apex. Finally, these activities will be summarized in an exercise where you will create a complex trigger that takes advantage of the declarative aspects of the platform. You'll get hands-on experience writing Visualforce pages to customize your user interface, as well as a brief introduction to the Lightning Component framework.
