▪ Standard objects out-of-the-box 
– Account, Contact, Opportunity, … 
▪ You can add custom fields to standard objects 
– Rating__c, Twitter__c, … 
▪ You can create custom objects 
– i.e. Speaker__c, Session__c, Hotel__c 
▪ Custom objects have standard fields 
– Id, Owner, LastModifiedDate, LastModifiedBy, …
Rich Data Types 
▪ Auto Number 
▪ Formula 
▪ Roll-Up Summary 
▪ Lookup 
▪ Master-Detail 
▪ Checkbox 
▪ Currency

Modeling One-to-Many Relationships 
An expense has one 
expense report 
An expense report 
has many expenses
Modeling Many-to-Many Relationships 
A speaker can have 
many session 
assignments 
A session can have 
many speaker 
assignments
Id 
▪ All objects are given an Id field 
▪ Globally unique Id is assigned at record creation 
▪ "Primary key" used to access records
Record Name 
▪ Human readable / logical identifier 
▪ Text or Auto Number ("Intro to Apex" or SP-00002) 
▪ Uniqueness not enforced
When you create an Object, you get… 
▪ Security for Entity 
▪ A CRUD user interface 
▪ Instant Mobile App access (Salesforce1) 
▪ REST/SOAP/Bulk/Push APIs 
▪ Rich Metadata 
▪ Apex Class 
▪ Indexed Search 
▪ Reporting and Analytics
Module 2b:

▪ You can create your own apps 
▪ Tabs can be: 
– Object pages, Visualforce pages, Canvas app
Page Layouts 
Let you customize all aspects of the layout, related lists, …
Lab 2: Importing Workshop Assets
Module 3: 
Writing Apex Classes
What is Apex? 
▪ Salesforce platform language 
▪ Similar to Java 
▪ Object-oriented 
▪ Strongly typed 
▪ Classes and Interfaces 
▪ Cloud based compiling, debugging and unit testing
Apex and Java 
Same 
▪ Primitive data types 
▪ Flow control (if, for, while, …) 
▪ Exception handling 
▪ Collections: Lists, Sets, … 
Different 
▪ Case insensitive 
▪ Single quote strings: 'Joe' 
▪ Id data type 
▪ Built-in support for data access
Apex Class 
public class MortgageCalculator { 
} 
public Double amount { get; set; } 
public Double rate { get; set; } 
public Integer years { get; set; } 
public Double calculateMonthlyPayment() { 
Integer months = years * 12; 
Double monthlyRate = rate / (12 * 100); 
return amount * (monthlyRate/ 
(1 - Math.pow(1 + monthlyRate, -months))); 
}
Development Tools 
▪ Developer Console 
▪ Force.com IDE (Eclipse Plugin) 
▪ Mavens Mate (Sublime Plugin) 
▪ Force CLI
Developer Console 
▪ Browser Based IDE 
▪ Create Classes, Triggers, Pages 
▪ Execute Apex Anonymously 
▪ Execute SOQL Queries 
▪ Run Unit Tests 
▪ Review Debug Logs
Lab 3: Creating an Apex Class 
▪ Create the EmailManager class 
▪ Send emails from the developer console 
http://bit.ly/sf-dev-quick
Module 4: 
Accessing Data with 
SOQL and DML
What's SOQL? 
▪ Salesforce Object Query language 
▪ Similar to SQL 
▪ Streamlined syntax to traverse object relationships 
▪ Built into Apex
SELECT Id, Name, Phone 
FROM Contact
SELECT Id, Name, Phone 
FROM Contact 
WHERE Phone <> null
SELECT Id, Name, Phone 
FROM Contact 
WHERE Phone <> null 
AND Name LIKE '%rose%'
SELECT Id, Name, Phone 
FROM Contact 
WHERE Phone <> null 
AND Name LIKE '%rose%' 
ORDER BY Name
SELECT Id, Name, Phone 
FROM Contact 
WHERE Phone <> null 
AND Name LIKE '%rose%' 
ORDER BY Name 
LIMIT 50
Details to Master 
SELECT Id, Name, Phone, Account.Name 
FROM Contact 
WHERE Phone <> null 
AND Name LIKE '%rose%' 
ORDER BY Name 
LIMIT 50
Master to Details 
SELECT Name, 
(SELECT FirstName, LastName, Phone 
FROM Contacts) 
FROM Account
Executing SOQL in the Developer Console
Inlining SOQL in Apex 
Integer i = [SELECT Count() FROM Session__c];
Inlining SOQL in Apex 
String level = 'Advanced'; 
List<Session__c> sessions = 
[SELECT Name, Level__c FROM Session__c 
WHERE Level__c = :level];
Inlining SOQL in Apex 
List<String> levels = new List<String>(); 
levels.add('Intermediate'); 
levels.add('Advanced'); 
List<Session__c> sessions = 
[SELECT Name, Level__c FROM Session__c 
WHERE Level__c IN :levels];
Inlining SOQL in Apex 
for (Speaker__c s : [SELECT Email__c FROM Speaker__c]) 
{ 
System.debug(s.email__c); 
}
What's DML? 
▪ Data Manipulation Language 
▪ Language used to create, update, delete records
insert 
Session__c session = new Session__c(); 
session.name = 'Apex 101'; 
session.level__c = 'Beginner'; 
insert session;
insert 
Session__c session = new Session__c( 
name = 'Apex 201', 
level__c = 'Intermediate' 
); 
insert session;
update 
String oldName = 'Apex 101'; 
String newName = 'Apex for Beginners'; 
Session__c session = 
[SELECT Id, Name FROM Session__c 
WHERE Name=:oldName]; 
session.name = newName; 
update session;
delete 
String name = 'Testing 501'; 
Session__c session = 
[SELECT Name FROM Session__c 
WHERE Name=:name]; 
delete session;
Lab 4: Accessing Data using SOQL and DML 
▪ Execute SOQL statements in the Query Editor 
▪ Execute DML statements in the Anonymous Window 
http://bit.ly/sf-dev-quick
Module 5: 
Writing Triggers
What's a Trigger? 
▪ Apex code executed on database events 
▪ Before or after: 
– Insert 
– Update 
– Delete 
– Undelete
Before or After? 
▪ Before 
– Update values before they are saved to the database 
– Example: Prevent double-booking of a speaker 
▪ After 
– Validate values before they are saved 
– Access values set by the database (Id, lastUpdated, …) 
– Example: Send speaker confirmation email
Bulk Mode 
▪ Triggers work on lists of records, not single records 
▪ This is to support bulk operations 
– Data Import, Bulk API, etc. 
▪ Context variables provide access to old and new values: 
– Trigger.old and Trigger.new (List) 
– Trigger.oldMap and Trigger.newMap (Map)
Example 1 
trigger WelcomeKit on Account (after insert) { 
List<Case> cases = new List<Case>(); 
for (Account account : Trigger.new) { 
Case case = new Case(); 
case.Subject = 'Mail Welcome Kit'; 
case.Account.Id = account.Id; 
cases.add(case); 
} 
insert cases; 
}
Example 2 
trigger on Account (before update) { 
for (Account acc: Trigger.New) { 
// Compare new value with old value 
if (acc.Rating != Trigger.oldMap.get(acc.Id).Rating) { 
// Your Logic 
} 
} 
}
Workflow vs Trigger 
Workflow Trigger 
Created with Clicks Code 
What can it do • Update field 
• Send email 
• Create task 
• Send outbound message 
• Launch flow (flow trigger) 
~ Anything (e.g. 
create/delete records, REST 
callout, etc.) 
Cross-object field updates Limited (detail -> master) Any
Lab 5: Writing Triggers 
▪ Write the SendConfirmationEmail trigger 
▪ Write the RejectDoubleBooking trigger 
http://bit.ly/sf-dev-quick
Module 6: 
Writing Visualforce Pages
What's a Visualforce Page? 
▪ HTML page with tags executed at the server-side to 
generate dynamic content 
▪ Similar to JSP and ASP 
▪ Can leverage JavaScript and CSS libraries 
▪ The View in MVC architecture
Model-View-Controller 
Model 
Data + Rules 
Controller 
View-Model 
interactions 
View 
UI code 
▪ Separation of concerns 
– No data access code in view 
– No view code in controller 
▪ Benefits 
– Minimize impact of changes 
– More reusable components
Model-View-Controller in Salesforce 
View 
• Standard Pages 
• Visualforce Pages 
• External apps 
Controller 
• Standard Controllers 
• Controller Extensions 
• Custom Controllers 
Model 
• Objects 
• Triggers (Apex) 
• Classes (Apex)
Component Library 
▪ Presentation tags 
– <apex:pageBlock title="My Account Contacts"> 
▪ Fine grained data tags 
– <apex:outputField value="{!contact.firstname}"> 
– <apex:inputField value="{!contact.firstname}"> 
▪ Coarse grained data tags 
– <apex:detail> 
– <apex:pageBlockTable> 
▪ Action tags 
– <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" >
Expression Language 
▪ Anything inside of {! } is evaluated as an expression 
▪ Same expression language as Formulas 
▪ $ provides access to global variables (Resource, Label, 
User, RemoteAction, …) 
– {! $Resource.JSLib } 
– {! $Label.MyCustomLabel }
Example: Expressions 
<apex:page> 
<apex:stylesheet 
value=”{!URLFOR($Resource.files,’style.css’)}”/> 
<h1>Hello, {!$User.FirstName}</h1> 
</apex:page> 
Important Note: Normally Visualforce tags do not support line breaks!
Standard Controller 
▪ A standard controller is available for all objects 
– You don't have to write it! 
▪ Provides standard CRUD operations 
– Create, Update, Delete, Field Access, etc. 
▪ Can be extended with more capabilities (next module) 
▪ Uses id query string parameter in URL to access object
Example: Standard Controller 
<apex:page standardController="Contact"> 
<apex:form> 
Standard controller 
object 
Standard controller 
field 
<apex:inputField value="{!contact.firstname}"/> 
<apex:inputField value="{!contact.lastname}"/> 
<apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/> 
</apex:form> 
</apex:page> 
Method in standard 
controller
Email Templates Embedded in Page Layouts Generate PDFs 
Custom Tabs 
Mobile Interfaces 
Page Overrides 
Where can I use Visualforce?
Lab 6: Writing Visualforce Pages 
▪ Write the SpeakerForm Visualforce page 
▪ Set it as default for creating and editing speakers 
http://bit.ly/sf-dev-quick
Module 7: 
Writing Controller Extensions 
and Custom Controllers
What's a Controller Extension? 
▪ Custom class written in Apex 
▪ Implements constructor with controller parameter 
▪ Works on the same object as the standard controller 
▪ Used to extend or override standard controller behavior
Defining a Controller Extension in Markup 
<apex:page standardController="Speaker__c" 
extensions="SpeakerCtrlExt"> 
Provides basic 
CRUD 
Overrides standard 
actions and/or provide 
additional capabilities
Anatomy of a Controller Extension in Apex 
public class SpeakerCtrlExt { 
private final Speaker__c speaker; 
private ApexPages.StandardController stdController; 
public SpeakerCtrlExt (ApexPages.StandardController ctrl) { 
this.stdController = ctrl; 
this.speaker = (Speaker__c)ctrl.getRecord(); 
} 
// method overrides 
// custom methods 
}
What's a Custom Controller? 
▪ Custom class written in Apex 
▪ Doesn't work on a specific object 
▪ Provides custom data 
▪ Provides custom behaviors 
▪ Can also work with an extension
Defining a Custom Controller 
<apex:page controller="FlickrController">
Custom Controller Example 
public with sharing class FlickrController { 
public FlickrList getPictures() { 
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest(); 
req.setMethod('GET'); 
req.setEndpoint('http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/'); 
HTTP http = new HTTP(); 
HTTPResponse res = http.send(req); 
return (FlickrList) JSON.deserialize(res.getBody(), 
FlickrList.class); 
} 
}
Lab 7: Writing a Controller Extension 
▪ Write a Controller Extension that supports Picture Upload

Module 8: 
Using JavaScript in Visualforce 
Pages
Why Use JavaScript? 
▪ Build Engaging User Experiences 
▪ Leverage JavaScript Libraries 
▪ Build Custom Applications
JavaScript in Visualforce Pages 
Visualforce Page 
JavaScript Remoting 
Remote Objects 
(REST)
Examples
JavaScript Remoting - Server-Side 
global with sharing class HotelRemoter { 
@RemoteAction 
global static List<Hotel__c> findAll() { 
return [SELECT Id, 
Name, 
Location__Latitude__s, 
Location__Longitude__s 
FROM Hotel__c]; 
} 
}
"global with sharing"? 
▪ global 
– Available from outside of the application 
▪ with sharing 
– Run code with current user permissions. (Apex code runs in 
system context by default -- with access to all objects and fields)
JavaScript Remoting - Visualforce Page 
<script> 
Visualforce.remoting.Manager.invokeAction( 
'{!$RemoteAction.HotelRemoter.findAll}', 
function (result, event) { 
if (event.status) { 
for (var i = 0; i < result.length; i++) { 
var lat = result[i].Location__Latitude__s; 
var lng = result[i].Location__Longitude__s; 
addMarker(lat, lng); 
} 
} else { 
alert(event.message); 
} 
} 
); 
</script>
Using JavaScript and CSS Libraries 
▪ Hosted elsewhere 
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"></script> 
▪ Hosted in Salesforce 
– Upload individual file or Zip file as Static Resource 
– Reference asset using special tags 
– Covered in Module 10
Lab 8: Using JavaScript in Visualforce Pages 
(Workbook Module 3) 
▪ Write the HotelMap Visualforce Page 
http://bit.ly/sf-dev-adv
Module 9: 
Using the REST APIs
When? 
Get access to Salesforce data from outside Salesforce: 
▪ Integrate Salesforce in existing apps 
▪ Build consumer apps 
▪ Device integration (Internet of Things)
Mobile SDK Example 
OAuth 
REST APIs
Browser Cross-Origin Restrictions 
OAuth 
REST APIs 
app.js 
index.html 
HTTP Server 
Cross Origin Policy
Using a Proxy 
OAuth 
REST APIs 
app.js 
index.html 
Proxy 
HTTP Server
http://bit.ly/trysoql
https://contact-force.herokuapp.com
https://conference-force.herokuapp.com
Connected App
Salesforce REST Toolkit 
https://github.com/developerforce/Force.com-JavaScript-REST-Toolkit
Lab 9: Using the REST APIs 
(Workbook Module 4) 
▪ Create a consumer app hosted outside Salesforce 
http://bit.ly/sf-dev-adv
Windows Users 
After installing Node.js: 
1. Add c:Program FilesNodejs to your path 
or 
Run "C:Program FilesNodejsnpm" install 
2. Create an "npm" directory in 
C:Users[yourname]AppdataRoaming
Module 10: 
Using Static Resources
What are Static Resources? 
▪ Files uploaded to Salesforce instance for use in 
Visualforce pages 
– .js 
– .css 
– .jpg, .png, .gif, etc. 
▪ Can be uploaded individually or as archive (.zip or .jar)
Static Resources
Referencing Static Resources 
// Single file 
<apex:stylesheet value="{!$Resource.bootstrap}"/> 
<apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.jquery}"/> 
<apex:image url="{!$Resource.logo}"/> 
// ZIP file 
<apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.assets, 'css/main.css')}"/> 
<apex:image url="{!URLFOR($Resource.assets, 'img/logo.png')}"/> 
<apex:includeScript value="{!URLFOR($Resource.assets, 'js/app.js')}"/>
Visualforce and HTML Page Generation 
▪ By default, Visualforce generates HTML page elements: 
– <html> 
– <head> 
– <body> 
▪ <apex:> tags ensure corresponding HTML elements are 
inserted at the right place 
– <apex:stylesheet> 
– <apex:includeScript>
Controlling HTML Page Generation 
▪ You can also take full control over HTML elements 
generation and position: 
<apex:page docType="html" applyHtmlTag="false" 
applyBodyTag="false"> 
▪ … and use standard HTML tags 
– <link rel="stylesheet" href="…"> 
– <script src="…">
Lab 10: Static Resources 
(Workbook Module 5) 
▪ Host single page application in Visualforce page 
http://bit.ly/sf-dev-adv
Module 11: 
Using Canvas Applications
What is a Canvas App? 
▪ A web app integrated in your Salesforce environment 
▪ Can be written in any language 
– Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, etc. 
▪ Transparently authenticated 
▪ Context aware (logged in user, current object, etc.)
Use Cases 
▪ Internal App 
▪ Third-Party / Partner App 
▪ External systems with web facade
Where Can It Be Integrated? 
▪ Publisher 
▪ Page Layouts 
▪ Visualforce Pages 
▪ Tabs 
▪ Mobile Cards
Defining a Canvas App
Transparent Authentication 
▪ When loading Canvas app, Salesforce instance posts 
Base64 encoded data to app endpoint including: 
– Authenticated token 
– Context (logged in user, current object, etc) 
▪ App decodes data using client secret 
▪ Can use authenticated token to make REST API calls
Node.js example 
var decode = require('salesforce-signed-request'); 
var secret = process.env.CONSUMER_SECRET; 
app.post('/signedrequest', function(req, res) { 
var signedRequest = req.body.signed_request; 
var decodedRequest = decode(signedRequest, secret); 
var oauthToken = decodedRequest.client.oauthToken; 
var instanceUrl = decodedRequest.client.instanceUrl; 
var context = decodedRequest.context; 
});
Lab 11: Canvas 
(Workbook module 6) 
▪ Deploy Node.js web app to Heroku 
▪ Integrate app in Contact page layout 
http://bit.ly/sf-dev-adv
Module 12: 
Writing Unit Tests
Unit Testing 
▪ Code to test code 
▪ Increases quality and predictability 
▪ Unit test coverage is required to move code to production 
– Must have at least 75% of code covered 
– Coverage = lines of code exercised by tests / total line of code
Anatomy of a Test Class 
@isTest 
private class myClass { 
static testMethod void myTest() { 
// 1. Prepare temporary data 
// 2. Start Test 
// 3. Execute some code 
// 4. Stop Test 
// 5. Assert 
} 
}
Create Temporary Data 
Datetime now = System.now(); 
// Create speaker 
Speaker__c sp = new Speaker__c(First_Name__c='Al', Last_Name__c='Smith'); 
insert sp; 
// Create two sessions starting at the same time 
Session__c s1 = new Session__c(Name='Session1', Session_Date__c=now); 
insert s1; 
Session__c s2 = new Session__c(Name='Session2', Session_Date__c=now); 
insert s2; 
// Book speaker for session1 
Session_Speaker__c booking1 = 
new Session_Speaker__c(Session__c=s1.Id, Speaker__c=sp.Id); 
insert booking1;
Test and Assert 
Test.startTest(); 
// Try to book speaker for session2 
Session_Speaker__c booking2= 
new Session_Speaker__c(Session__c=s2.Id, Speaker__c=sp.Id); 
Database.SaveResult result = Database.insert(booking2, false); 
Test.stopTest(); 
// Insert should fail: can't book same speaker for 2 sessions happening 
// at same time 
System.assert(!result.isSuccess());
Running Tests
Lab 12: Unit Testing 
(Workbook Module 7) 
▪ Write the TestDoubleBooking class 
▪ Run the test 
http://bit.ly/sf-dev-adv
Module 13: 
Batch and Schedule
What's a Batch? 
▪ Long-running process that runs without manual 
intervention 
▪ Started programmatically
Defining a Batch Job 
global class SendReminderEmail implements Database.Batchable { 
global SendReminderEmail(String query, String subject, String body) { 
// Constructor: accept parameters 
} 
global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc) { 
// Select scope (records to process) 
} 
global void execute(Database.BatchableContext bc, List<Speaker__c> scope) { 
// Process data 
} 
global void finish(Database.BatchableContext bc) { 
// Post processing operations 
} 
}
Running the Batch Job 
String q = 'SELECT First_Name__c, Last_Name__c, Email__c ' + 
'FROM Speaker__c WHERE Email__c != null'; 
SendReminderEmail batch = new SendReminderEmail(q, 
'Final Reminder', 'The conference starts next Monday'); 
Database.executeBatch(batch);
What's Scheduled Job? 
▪ Unattended background program execution 
▪ Occurs at a specified time 
▪ Optionally repeated at a specified interval
Defining a Scheduled Job 
global class ScheduledEmail implements Schedulable { 
global void execute(SchedulableContext sc) { 
String q = 'SELECT First_Name__c, Last_Name__c, Email__c ' + 
'FROM Speaker__c WHERE Email__c != null'; 
SendReminderEmail batch = new SendReminderEmail(q,

  • 39.
    Module 4: AccessingData with SOQL and DML
  • 40.
    What's SOQL? ▪Salesforce Object Query language ▪ Similar to SQL ▪ Streamlined syntax to traverse object relationships ▪ Built into Apex
  • 41.
    SELECT Id, Name,Phone FROM Contact
  • 42.
    SELECT Id, Name,Phone FROM Contact WHERE Phone <> null
  • 43.
    SELECT Id, Name,Phone FROM Contact WHERE Phone <> null AND Name LIKE '%rose%'
  • 44.
    SELECT Id, Name,Phone FROM Contact WHERE Phone <> null AND Name LIKE '%rose%' ORDER BY Name
  • 45.
    SELECT Id, Name,Phone FROM Contact WHERE Phone <> null AND Name LIKE '%rose%' ORDER BY Name LIMIT 50
  • 46.
    Details to Master SELECT Id, Name, Phone, Account.Name FROM Contact WHERE Phone <> null AND Name LIKE '%rose%' ORDER BY Name LIMIT 50
  • 47.
    Master to Details SELECT Name, (SELECT FirstName, LastName, Phone FROM Contacts) FROM Account
  • 48.
    Executing SOQL inthe Developer Console
  • 49.
    Inlining SOQL inApex Integer i = [SELECT Count() FROM Session__c];
  • 50.
    Inlining SOQL inApex String level = 'Advanced'; List<Session__c> sessions = [SELECT Name, Level__c FROM Session__c WHERE Level__c = :level];
  • 51.
    Inlining SOQL inApex List<String> levels = new List<String>(); levels.add('Intermediate'); levels.add('Advanced'); List<Session__c> sessions = [SELECT Name, Level__c FROM Session__c WHERE Level__c IN :levels];
  • 52.
    Inlining SOQL inApex for (Speaker__c s : [SELECT Email__c FROM Speaker__c]) { System.debug(s.email__c); }
  • 53.
    What's DML? ▪Data Manipulation Language ▪ Language used to create, update, delete records
  • 54.
    insert Session__c session= new Session__c(); session.name = 'Apex 101'; session.level__c = 'Beginner'; insert session;
  • 55.
    insert Session__c session= new Session__c( name = 'Apex 201', level__c = 'Intermediate' ); insert session;
  • 56.
    update String oldName= 'Apex 101'; String newName = 'Apex for Beginners'; Session__c session = [SELECT Id, Name FROM Session__c WHERE Name=:oldName]; session.name = newName; update session;
  • 57.
    delete String name= 'Testing 501'; Session__c session = [SELECT Name FROM Session__c WHERE Name=:name]; delete session;
  • 58.
    Lab 4: AccessingData using SOQL and DML ▪ Execute SOQL statements in the Query Editor ▪ Execute DML statements in the Anonymous Window http://bit.ly/sf-dev-quick
  • 59.
  • 60.
    What's a Trigger? ▪ Apex code executed on database events ▪ Before or after: – Insert – Update – Delete – Undelete
  • 61.
    Before or After? ▪ Before – Update values before they are saved to the database – Example: Prevent double-booking of a speaker ▪ After – Validate values before they are saved – Access values set by the database (Id, lastUpdated, …) – Example: Send speaker confirmation email
  • 62.
    Bulk Mode ▪Triggers work on lists of records, not single records ▪ This is to support bulk operations – Data Import, Bulk API, etc. ▪ Context variables provide access to old and new values: – Trigger.old and Trigger.new (List) – Trigger.oldMap and Trigger.newMap (Map)
  • 63.
    Example 1 triggerWelcomeKit on Account (after insert) { List<Case> cases = new List<Case>(); for (Account account : Trigger.new) { Case case = new Case(); case.Subject = 'Mail Welcome Kit'; case.Account.Id = account.Id; cases.add(case); } insert cases; }
  • 64.
    Example 2 triggeron Account (before update) { for (Account acc: Trigger.New) { // Compare new value with old value if (acc.Rating != Trigger.oldMap.get(acc.Id).Rating) { // Your Logic } } }
  • 65.
    Workflow vs Trigger Workflow Trigger Created with Clicks Code What can it do • Update field • Send email • Create task • Send outbound message • Launch flow (flow trigger) ~ Anything (e.g. create/delete records, REST callout, etc.) Cross-object field updates Limited (detail -> master) Any
  • 66.
    Lab 5: WritingTriggers ▪ Write the SendConfirmationEmail trigger ▪ Write the RejectDoubleBooking trigger http://bit.ly/sf-dev-quick
  • 67.
    Module 6: WritingVisualforce Pages
  • 68.
    What's a VisualforcePage? ▪ HTML page with tags executed at the server-side to generate dynamic content ▪ Similar to JSP and ASP ▪ Can leverage JavaScript and CSS libraries ▪ The View in MVC architecture
  • 69.
    Model-View-Controller Model Data+ Rules Controller View-Model interactions View UI code ▪ Separation of concerns – No data access code in view – No view code in controller ▪ Benefits – Minimize impact of changes – More reusable components
  • 70.
    Model-View-Controller in Salesforce View • Standard Pages • Visualforce Pages • External apps Controller • Standard Controllers • Controller Extensions • Custom Controllers Model • Objects • Triggers (Apex) • Classes (Apex)
  • 71.
    Component Library ▪Presentation tags – <apex:pageBlock title="My Account Contacts"> ▪ Fine grained data tags – <apex:outputField value="{!contact.firstname}"> – <apex:inputField value="{!contact.firstname}"> ▪ Coarse grained data tags – <apex:detail> – <apex:pageBlockTable> ▪ Action tags – <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" >
  • 72.
    Expression Language ▪Anything inside of {! } is evaluated as an expression ▪ Same expression language as Formulas ▪ $ provides access to global variables (Resource, Label, User, RemoteAction, …) – {! $Resource.JSLib } – {! $Label.MyCustomLabel }
  • 73.
    Example: Expressions <apex:page> <apex:stylesheet value=”{!URLFOR($Resource.files,’style.css’)}”/> <h1>Hello, {!$User.FirstName}</h1> </apex:page> Important Note: Normally Visualforce tags do not support line breaks!
  • 74.
    Standard Controller ▪A standard controller is available for all objects – You don't have to write it! ▪ Provides standard CRUD operations – Create, Update, Delete, Field Access, etc. ▪ Can be extended with more capabilities (next module) ▪ Uses id query string parameter in URL to access object
  • 75.
    Example: Standard Controller <apex:page standardController="Contact"> <apex:form> Standard controller object Standard controller field <apex:inputField value="{!contact.firstname}"/> <apex:inputField value="{!contact.lastname}"/> <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/> </apex:form> </apex:page> Method in standard controller
  • 76.
    Email Templates Embeddedin Page Layouts Generate PDFs Custom Tabs Mobile Interfaces Page Overrides Where can I use Visualforce?
  • 77.
    Lab 6: WritingVisualforce Pages ▪ Write the SpeakerForm Visualforce page ▪ Set it as default for creating and editing speakers http://bit.ly/sf-dev-quick
  • 78.
    Module 7: WritingController Extensions and Custom Controllers
  • 79.
    What's a ControllerExtension? ▪ Custom class written in Apex ▪ Implements constructor with controller parameter ▪ Works on the same object as the standard controller ▪ Used to extend or override standard controller behavior
  • 80.
    Defining a ControllerExtension in Markup <apex:page standardController="Speaker__c" extensions="SpeakerCtrlExt"> Provides basic CRUD Overrides standard actions and/or provide additional capabilities
  • 81.
    Anatomy of aController Extension in Apex public class SpeakerCtrlExt { private final Speaker__c speaker; private ApexPages.StandardController stdController; public SpeakerCtrlExt (ApexPages.StandardController ctrl) { this.stdController = ctrl; this.speaker = (Speaker__c)ctrl.getRecord(); } // method overrides // custom methods }
  • 82.
    What's a CustomController? ▪ Custom class written in Apex ▪ Doesn't work on a specific object ▪ Provides custom data ▪ Provides custom behaviors ▪ Can also work with an extension
  • 83.
    Defining a CustomController <apex:page controller="FlickrController">
  • 84.
    Custom Controller Example public with sharing class FlickrController { public FlickrList getPictures() { HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest(); req.setMethod('GET'); req.setEndpoint('http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/'); HTTP http = new HTTP(); HTTPResponse res = http.send(req); return (FlickrList) JSON.deserialize(res.getBody(), FlickrList.class); } }
  • 85.
    Lab 7: Writinga Controller Extension ▪ Write a Controller Extension that supports Picture Upload
  • 86.
  • 87.
    Module 8: UsingJavaScript in Visualforce Pages
  • 88.
    Why Use JavaScript? ▪ Build Engaging User Experiences ▪ Leverage JavaScript Libraries ▪ Build Custom Applications
  • 89.
    JavaScript in VisualforcePages Visualforce Page JavaScript Remoting Remote Objects (REST)
  • 90.
  • 91.
    JavaScript Remoting -Server-Side global with sharing class HotelRemoter { @RemoteAction global static List<Hotel__c> findAll() { return [SELECT Id, Name, Location__Latitude__s, Location__Longitude__s FROM Hotel__c]; } }
  • 92.
    "global with sharing"? ▪ global – Available from outside of the application ▪ with sharing – Run code with current user permissions. (Apex code runs in system context by default -- with access to all objects and fields)
  • 93.
    JavaScript Remoting -Visualforce Page <script> Visualforce.remoting.Manager.invokeAction( '{!$RemoteAction.HotelRemoter.findAll}', function (result, event) { if (event.status) { for (var i = 0; i < result.length; i++) { var lat = result[i].Location__Latitude__s; var lng = result[i].Location__Longitude__s; addMarker(lat, lng); } } else { alert(event.message); } } ); </script>
  • 94.
    Using JavaScript andCSS Libraries ▪ Hosted elsewhere <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"></script> ▪ Hosted in Salesforce – Upload individual file or Zip file as Static Resource – Reference asset using special tags – Covered in Module 10
  • 95.
    Lab 8: UsingJavaScript in Visualforce Pages (Workbook Module 3) ▪ Write the HotelMap Visualforce Page http://bit.ly/sf-dev-adv
  • 96.
    Module 9: Usingthe REST APIs
  • 97.
    When? Get accessto Salesforce data from outside Salesforce: ▪ Integrate Salesforce in existing apps ▪ Build consumer apps ▪ Device integration (Internet of Things)
  • 98.
    Mobile SDK Example OAuth REST APIs
  • 99.
    Browser Cross-Origin Restrictions OAuth REST APIs app.js index.html HTTP Server Cross Origin Policy
  • 100.
    Using a Proxy OAuth REST APIs app.js index.html Proxy HTTP Server
  • 101.
  • 102.
  • 103.
  • 104.
  • 105.
    Salesforce REST Toolkit https://github.com/developerforce/Force.com-JavaScript-REST-Toolkit
  • 106.
    Lab 9: Usingthe REST APIs (Workbook Module 4) ▪ Create a consumer app hosted outside Salesforce http://bit.ly/sf-dev-adv
  • 107.
    Windows Users Afterinstalling Node.js: 1. Add c:Program FilesNodejs to your path or Run "C:Program FilesNodejsnpm" install 2. Create an "npm" directory in C:Users[yourname]AppdataRoaming
  • 108.
    Module 10: UsingStatic Resources
  • 109.
    What are StaticResources? ▪ Files uploaded to Salesforce instance for use in Visualforce pages – .js – .css – .jpg, .png, .gif, etc. ▪ Can be uploaded individually or as archive (.zip or .jar)
  • 110.
  • 111.
    Referencing Static Resources // Single file <apex:stylesheet value="{!$Resource.bootstrap}"/> <apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.jquery}"/> <apex:image url="{!$Resource.logo}"/> // ZIP file <apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.assets, 'css/main.css')}"/> <apex:image url="{!URLFOR($Resource.assets, 'img/logo.png')}"/> <apex:includeScript value="{!URLFOR($Resource.assets, 'js/app.js')}"/>
  • 112.
    Visualforce and HTMLPage Generation ▪ By default, Visualforce generates HTML page elements: – <html> – <head> – <body> ▪ <apex:> tags ensure corresponding HTML elements are inserted at the right place – <apex:stylesheet> – <apex:includeScript>
  • 113.
    Controlling HTML PageGeneration ▪ You can also take full control over HTML elements generation and position: <apex:page docType="html" applyHtmlTag="false" applyBodyTag="false"> ▪ … and use standard HTML tags – <link rel="stylesheet" href="…"> – <script src="…">
  • 114.
    Lab 10: StaticResources (Workbook Module 5) ▪ Host single page application in Visualforce page http://bit.ly/sf-dev-adv
  • 115.
    Module 11: UsingCanvas Applications
  • 116.
    What is aCanvas App? ▪ A web app integrated in your Salesforce environment ▪ Can be written in any language – Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, etc. ▪ Transparently authenticated ▪ Context aware (logged in user, current object, etc.)
  • 117.
    Use Cases ▪Internal App ▪ Third-Party / Partner App ▪ External systems with web facade
  • 118.
    Where Can ItBe Integrated? ▪ Publisher ▪ Page Layouts ▪ Visualforce Pages ▪ Tabs ▪ Mobile Cards
  • 119.
  • 120.
    Transparent Authentication ▪When loading Canvas app, Salesforce instance posts Base64 encoded data to app endpoint including: – Authenticated token – Context (logged in user, current object, etc) ▪ App decodes data using client secret ▪ Can use authenticated token to make REST API calls
  • 121.
    Node.js example vardecode = require('salesforce-signed-request'); var secret = process.env.CONSUMER_SECRET; app.post('/signedrequest', function(req, res) { var signedRequest = req.body.signed_request; var decodedRequest = decode(signedRequest, secret); var oauthToken = decodedRequest.client.oauthToken; var instanceUrl = decodedRequest.client.instanceUrl; var context = decodedRequest.context; });
  • 122.
    Lab 11: Canvas (Workbook module 6) ▪ Deploy Node.js web app to Heroku ▪ Integrate app in Contact page layout http://bit.ly/sf-dev-adv
  • 123.
  • 124.
    Unit Testing ▪Code to test code ▪ Increases quality and predictability ▪ Unit test coverage is required to move code to production – Must have at least 75% of code covered – Coverage = lines of code exercised by tests / total line of code
  • 125.
    Anatomy of aTest Class @isTest private class myClass { static testMethod void myTest() { // 1. Prepare temporary data // 2. Start Test // 3. Execute some code // 4. Stop Test // 5. Assert } }
  • 126.
    Create Temporary Data Datetime now = System.now(); // Create speaker Speaker__c sp = new Speaker__c(First_Name__c='Al', Last_Name__c='Smith'); insert sp; // Create two sessions starting at the same time Session__c s1 = new Session__c(Name='Session1', Session_Date__c=now); insert s1; Session__c s2 = new Session__c(Name='Session2', Session_Date__c=now); insert s2; // Book speaker for session1 Session_Speaker__c booking1 = new Session_Speaker__c(Session__c=s1.Id, Speaker__c=sp.Id); insert booking1;
  • 127.
    Test and Assert Test.startTest(); // Try to book speaker for session2 Session_Speaker__c booking2= new Session_Speaker__c(Session__c=s2.Id, Speaker__c=sp.Id); Database.SaveResult result = Database.insert(booking2, false); Test.stopTest(); // Insert should fail: can't book same speaker for 2 sessions happening // at same time System.assert(!result.isSuccess());
  • 128.
  • 129.
    Lab 12: UnitTesting (Workbook Module 7) ▪ Write the TestDoubleBooking class ▪ Run the test http://bit.ly/sf-dev-adv
  • 130.
    Module 13: Batchand Schedule
  • 131.
    What's a Batch? ▪ Long-running process that runs without manual intervention ▪ Started programmatically
  • 132.
    Defining a BatchJob global class SendReminderEmail implements Database.Batchable { global SendReminderEmail(String query, String subject, String body) { // Constructor: accept parameters } global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc) { // Select scope (records to process) } global void execute(Database.BatchableContext bc, List<Speaker__c> scope) { // Process data } global void finish(Database.BatchableContext bc) { // Post processing operations } }
  • 133.
    Running the BatchJob String q = 'SELECT First_Name__c, Last_Name__c, Email__c ' + 'FROM Speaker__c WHERE Email__c != null'; SendReminderEmail batch = new SendReminderEmail(q, 'Final Reminder', 'The conference starts next Monday'); Database.executeBatch(batch);
  • 134.
    What's Scheduled Job? ▪ Unattended background program execution ▪ Occurs at a specified time ▪ Optionally repeated at a specified interval
  • 135.
    Defining a ScheduledJob global class ScheduledEmail implements Schedulable { global void execute(SchedulableContext sc) { String q = 'SELECT First_Name__c, Last_Name__c, Email__c ' + 'FROM Speaker__c WHERE Email__c != null'; SendReminderEmail batch = new SendReminderEmail(q, 'Final Reminder', 'The conference starts next Monday'); Database.executeBatch(batch); } }
  • 136.
    Scheduling the Job(using Code) ScheduledEmail job = new ScheduledEmail(); // Run at 8AM on February 10th // (Seconds Minutes Hours Day_of_month Month Day_of_week Years) // Can use wildcards String schedule = '0 0 8 10 2 ?'; String jobId = System.schedule('Final reminder', schedule, job);
