Salesforce is one of the most powerful cloud-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platforms that enables businesses to manage their sales, marketing, and customer support operations efficiently. This module introduces learners to the Salesforce ecosystem, helping them understand the platform’s capabilities, different editions, and licensing models. Additionally, we explore the architecture of Salesforce, focusing on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, which separates data, business logic, and user interfaces. This structured approach ensures scalable and maintainable development. We will also introduce essential Salesforce development tools like the Developer Console, Visual Studio Code, and Salesforce CLI. By the end of this session, learners will have a strong foundational knowledge of Salesforce development and the tools required for hands-on coding.
Apex is a powerful, strongly-typed, object-oriented programming language developed by Salesforce for executing transaction control and business logic inside the Salesforce environment. In this module, we begin with the basics of Apex programming, including variables, data types, and operators. Learners will explore essential programming concepts such as conditional statements (If-Else), loops (For, While), and collections (List, Set, Map) that are widely used in Apex for handling large datasets efficiently. Exception handling techniques are covered to help developers write robust, error-free code. Additionally, we introduce Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) and Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL), which are used to retrieve and manipulate Salesforce data effectively. By the end of this section, learners will be able to write basic Apex programs and query Salesforce data efficiently.
Triggers are an essential part of Salesforce automation, allowing developers to execute Apex code in response to DML (Data Manipulation Language) events such as inserting, updating, or deleting records. This module covers the different types of triggers, including before and after triggers, and explains when to use each type. Learners will dive into context variables, which store relevant runtime information within triggers, and understand how to use them effectively. A significant part of this module focuses on bulkifying triggers, a critical best practice to ensure that Apex code runs efficiently without hitting Salesforce governor limits. Additionally, we discuss best practices for writing optimized and maintainable triggers. By the end of this session, learners will be able to develop triggers that automate business processes efficiently and follow Salesforce best practices.
In Salesforce, long-running or complex operations should be executed asynchronously to prevent performance issues and exceed governor limits. This module introduces Asynchronous Apex, including Future Methods, Batch Apex, Queueable Apex, and Scheduled Apex. Future Methods allow non-urgent operations to run separately from the main transaction, while Batch Apex is used for handling large data sets by processing records in manageable chunks. Queueable Apex provides an advanced alternative to Future Methods, allowing the chaining of jobs. Lastly, Scheduled Apex enables developers to automate processes at predefined time intervals. The module also covers best practices for choosing the appropriate asynchronous technique based on different use cases. By the end of this module, learners will have a strong understanding of asynchronous processing and how to implement it effectively in Salesforce.
Modern applications need to communicate with external systems, and Salesforce provides powerful APIs for seamless integration. This module covers Salesforce REST API and SOAP API, explaining their differences and when to use each. Learners will explore callouts to external systems, a crucial aspect of integration, and learn how to handle named credentials to securely connect with external services. We will also cover RESTful web services, working with JSON and XML, and handling authentication mechanisms like OAuth 2.0. By the end of this module, learners will be able to integrate Salesforce with external applications using APIs, ensuring secure and efficient data exchange.
Testing is a critical part of Salesforce development, ensuring that applications work correctly and meet platform requirements. This module covers writing test classes, an essential practice in Salesforce, as at least 75% of Apex code must be covered by test cases before deployment. Learners will understand how to create test data, use mock data strategies, and leverage Developer Console for debugging and running test cases. The module also explains code coverage requirements and best practices for writing efficient test classes. By the end of this session, students will be able to write test classes to validate their code, ensuring its correctness and reliability.
Salesforce provides different types of sandboxes, including Developer, Full, and Partial Copy sandboxes, for testing and development. This module explains how to manage sandboxes effectively, ensuring a smooth development process. Learners will explore deployment strategies, including Change Sets, Salesforce CLI, and Metadata API, to move customizations from sandbox to production. Additionally, an overview of Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) in Salesforce is provided, introducing tools like Salesforce DX and Git-based deployment pipelines. By the end of this module, students will have a clear understanding of how to manage different Salesforce environments and deploy their applications successfully.
To develop high-performing and scalable Salesforce applications, following best practices is essential. This module covers Salesforce coding standards, governor limits, and strategies to optimize performance. Learners will understand how to write secure, maintainable, and efficient code by implementing bulk processing, proper exception handling, and SOQL query optimization. Additionally, security best practices such as field-level security, sharing settings, and data encryption are discussed. By the end of this session, learners will be able to develop applications that adhere to Salesforce best practices and avoid common pitfalls.
Lightning Web Components (LWC) is the modern UI framework for Salesforce development. This module covers Basic of LWC architecture, component lifecycle, data binding, event handling, and integrating LWC with Apex. Learners will explore Lightning Data Service, component styling, theming, and UI navigation. Advanced concepts like Wire Adapters and Custom Events are also introduced. Additionally, students will learn how to test and debug LWC components. By the end of this module, learners will have the skills to build powerful and interactive applications using LWC.
Although LWC is the preferred framework, Visualforce remains relevant for legacy applications and custom UI requirements. This module introduces Visualforce pages, components, and controllers, demonstrating how to integrate them with Apex classes. Best practices for Visualforce development, such as dynamic rendering, optimizing performance, and security considerations, are also covered. By the end of this module, learners will be able to create and customize Visualforce pages for various business needs.
