For Developers it is very important understand

Declarative tool set – Workflowrules, same object updates
Email notifications, limited applications.
Process Builder – Related object updates
Create a records, no unrelated objects
Bulk issues everywhere
Visual flow unrelated object updates variables and loops.
Same learning curve as code, but without the benefits.

Insert event - When a Account is created a triggers is executed
Update event – executed when one or many fields on the record are

Deleted event- Triggers run the record are deleted, workflow do not delet
events.
Tests Classes = Sensors that make sure your code work.
