Lesson 4: Logic and Process Automation (Part 2)

Apex Triggers are linked with objects and get stored as metadata under these objects. Triggers get associated and stored with specific objects listed in the object management settings for each object

This lesson teaches you about Apex Classes. The class is a template used to create objects. Methods and Variables exist within a class.

Building a user interface that is powerful, easy to use and achieves all tasks is a significant challenge in the market. This section teaches you to create a Visualforce page definition using Visualforce. A page definition consists of two primary elements namely Visualforce markup and a Visualforce controller.

Class 1:

• Using Visualforce Pages
• Using Visualforce Controllers
• Using the Lightning Component Framework

Lesson 6: Testing

To develop error free code, you need to perform create and execute unit tests using Apex code. Unit testing confirms the right working of the system. Salesforce user interface determines the available test execution methods.

FAQs:

1. What is Force.com platform?

Force.com serves as a platform for creating and deploying next-generation cloud apps. Force.com allows your applications to run on a secure, proven service that scales, tunes, and backup data automatically.

2. Why is there a need to use user interface?

Interfaces provide a connection between an object and method and ensures a behavior by an object. Interfaces are necessary as they reduce the number of lines of code and abstract an algorithm from data.

3. What is a trigger?

A trigger is an Apex code, and this gets executed either before or after any Data Manipulation Language (DML) events occur. For example, the trigger occurs before any records are inserted into a database or after few records are deleted.

4. Differentiate SOQL and SOSL?

SOQL is Salesforce Object Query Language which allows us to search objects only one at a time and query on all fields of any data type. SOQL can be used in Triggers and classes and perform DML operation on query results.

SOSL is Salesforce Object Search Language which allows you to search many objects at a time and query on fields whose datatype is text, phone, and email. SOSL can be used in classes but not in Triggers and cannot perform DML operation on query results.

5. What is meant by Visual force?

A framework allowing developers to build sophisticated, custom user interfaces and host them natively on the Force.com platform is known as Visualforce. This framework includes a tag-based markup language, like HTML, and a set of standard controllers which make necessary database operations, like querying and saving, very simple to perform.

6. What is Visualforce Markup?

Visualforce markup provides user interface components to be added on the page, and control the way of appearance.

7. What are Visualforce Controllers?

A set of instructions that describes the action occurring when the user interacts with the components associated with the visual force markup is called Visualforce Controllers.

Visualforce Controllers provide access to the data to be presented on a page and modify component behavior.
