Overview

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 instructor-led course, 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 use no-code customizations.
  • Write basic Lightning Web Components, Visualforce markup, and code to customize a 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 with the built-in testing framework.
  • Explain how trigger code works in accordance with the Salesforce Save Order of Execution.
  • Understand key fundamentals of designing programs on a multi-tenant platform.
  • Use Code Builder and Salesforce Command Line Interface (CLI).

Who Can Benefit

This course is designed for developers who are responsible for writing pro-code customizations for business logic and user interface (UI) layers using Apex, Visualforce, and Lightning Web Components. Students will ideally possess a strong 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 course for anyone interested in earning their Platform Developer I credential.

Reviews

The course was informative, and I learnt a new skill. The instructor was up to the point.

The tool provided to practice the course teachings is very functional and easy to use.

Course was great and the instructor had an answer for anything that was asked during the course.

The training was good but needed the basic skills of maximo before getting deep in the configuration of it.

Great and very intuitive. Better than the traditional hit the wrong button/lose points.
