Overview

Discover how to design and customise pro-code applications on the Salesforce Platform using Apex, Visualforce markup, and the Lightning Component Framework. In this 5-days programme, learn how to develop and deploy custom pro-code solutions by writing and testing custom logic, and by customising the user interface with basic Visualforce pages and Lightning Web Components. Examine how Apex interacts with no-code customisations 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.

Key Takeaways

At the end of this programme, you will be able to:
  • Design custom pro-code solutions that effectively leverage no-code customisations
  • Write basic Lightning Web Components and basic Visualforce markup and code to customise the UI
  • Use Apex triggers and classes to write business logic customisations 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 Should Attend

  • Please refer to the job roles section.
  • ICT&SS Professionals who are keen to learn how to write pro-code customisations for business logic and user interface (UI) layers using Apex, Visualforce, and Lightning Web Components. You 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 programme for Developers looking to earn their Salesforce Platform Developer I credential.
