Chapter 12. Basics of Apex and Visualforce Page

In the previous chapter, we discussed different methods to deploy an application to different organizations. We also discussed the method of deploying component metadata using Force.com IDE, Force.com Migration Tools and followed it up with the process of distributing an application using packages.

In this chapter, we will discuss the basics of Apex programming and Visualforce page concepts. We'll cover the following topics:

  • Introducing Apex

  • Apex data types

  • Creating an Apex class

  • Introducing a Visualforce page

  • Understanding the MVC model

Until now, you have used an out-of-the-box feature-that is, point and click development-to customize your Salesforce org. For example, creating the object's structure, relationships between objects, Process Builders, and approval process to customize it according to your business needs. The point and click development method doesn't require any coding skill.
