Apex | Develop with an object-oriented, Java-like programming language that’s optimized and tuned for accessing Salesforce database objects. |
Visualforce | Define user interface components and construct visual elements using a markup language similar to HTML, thus allowing the user to interact with and modify data from the database. |
SOQL | Look at a specific set of data, like all contacts in a geographic region, using Force.com’s object database query language, similar in syntax to SQL.SOQL is used in many of the Salesforce APIs. |
