Salesforce Development: Apex & Lightning Masterclass

Learn Salesforce Development from the ground up with this hands-on, project-based course covering Apex Programming, Lightning Web Components (LWC), Visualforce, and Salesforce API integrations. Whether you're a complete beginner, a Salesforce Admin looking to transition into development, or an IT professional preparing for the Salesforce Platform Developer I certification, this course is built to take you from zero to job-ready.

You'll start with Apex fundamentals — variables, data types, collections, and control structures — before moving into triggers, batch Apex, and asynchronous processing using Queueable and Future methods. From there, you'll build modern, reactive user interfaces with Lightning Web Components, learn when to use Visualforce versus LWC, and connect Salesforce to external systems through REST and SOAP API integrations. You'll also master SOQL and SOSL for querying data, and write proper Apex test classes so your code is deployment-ready.

Every concept is paired with a real, hands-on build inside your own free Salesforce Developer org, so you're actively coding rather than just watching. The course also includes a bonus module on using AI coding tools like Copilot, Cursor, and Agentforce to speed up Salesforce development in 2026.

• SOQL and SOSL for querying and searching Salesforce data

• Writing Apex test classes and testing frameworks for deployment readiness

• Real-world, portfolio-ready project builds

• Certification prep coverage for Salesforce Platform Developer I

• Bonus: using AI coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Agentforce) to accelerate Salesforce development in 2026

Who This Course Is Ideal For

• Complete beginners who want to become a Salesforce Developer with no prior coding experience

• Salesforce Admins looking to transition into a development role

• Java/web developers looking to specialize in the Salesforce ecosystem

• IT professionals and students preparing for the Salesforce Platform Developer certification

• Career changers seeking a practical, project-based path into one of tech's highest-paying roles

• Anyone curious about AI-assisted Salesforce development (Copilot, Cursor, Agentforce) and wanting to stay current with 2026 tooling
