Note: All credit goes to Salesforce, I am just a developer who enjoy playing trailhead and try to make note to myself.
What the platform is?
Platform is where customer can use SFDC technologies to build apps.Platform enable customer to customize standard functionality or build an app from the scratch.| Customer/Developer able to | SFDC platform functionality: |
|---|---|
| Manage internal project requests | Custom objects for managing projects |
| Add custom fields to capture important data | Custom fields for standard and custom objects |
| Set up automatic email alerts | Processes with email alert actions |
| Build a custom internal app | Lightning Components and Lightning App Builder for creating an employee app |
| Build a custom customer-facing app | Heroku for creating a customer-facing app |
Explain the differences between declarative and programmatic development.
Declarative
Point-and-click functionality in Salesforce.No code required,just configuration.
| Declarative | |
|---|---|
| User Interface | Create forms and page layouts using drag-and-drop tools in the Page Layout editor. |
| LightningProcess Builder | Create rules that take time-dependent actions and automate multi-step processes using Workflows. Automate the processes your organization uses to approve Salesforce records using Approvals. |
| Schema Builder | Customize objects and create relationships between them using drag-and-drop tools in Schema Builder. |
| Reports and Dashboards | Present data quickly and comprehensively using Report Builder. Show data from source reports as visual components using Dashboards. |
Programmatic
Code-driven functionality in Salesforce, mean using Apex,Visualforce,Lightning,Javascript,CSS etc.
| Programmatic | |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| LightningComponents | Develop dynamic web apps for mobile and desktop devices, using a modern, component-based UI framework. |
The module end up with challenge to build a simple app.
