The overview

Build scalable Salesforce applications with Apex, Lightning Web Components, and modern DevOps

Instead of learning isolated coding concepts, you will develop a full Salesforce application using modern development tools such as VS Code, Salesforce CLI, Apex, and Lightning Web Components

Why take this course

Many Salesforce teams eventually reach a “declarative ceiling.” Flows become difficult to maintain, performance issues arise, and complex requirements cannot be met with clicks alone.

At that point, organizations need developers who understand how to build scalable solutions using Apex, modern UI frameworks, and professional development workflows.

We built this course to help you break through that ceiling and tackle challenges that go beyond what clicks alone can solve.

You won’t just study isolated coding topics; instead, Modern Salesforce Development helps you start thinking like a real Salesforce developer, ready to deliver secure, scalable solutions in the kind of environments companies actually use.

You’ll go beyond writing Apex code; you’ll learn to design, build, test, and launch Salesforce apps that work at scale, just like the pros do.

The course includes our exclusive study guides and practice exams for the Salesforce Platform Developer certification path.

Salesforce Administrators moving into development roles
Platform App Builders who want to expand beyond declarative tools

Technical consultants implementing custom Salesforce solutions
Developers preparing for the Salesforce Platform Developer I certification

Familiarity with Salesforce Setup and Object Manager
Basic experience with Flow or Salesforce automation

Logical problem-solving skills or exposure to programming concepts
Administrative rights to install development tools such as VS Code and Salesforce CLI

Certification ready

This course is designed to support the Salesforce Platform Developer I certification.

Learners consistently report that complex topics such as Apex triggers, SOQL queries, and Lightning Web Components become far clearer when taught through a continuous real-world development scenario.

Understand Salesforce architecture from a developer perspective
Design scalable data models aligned with business requirements
Query and manipulate Salesforce data using SOQL and SOSL
Implement complex business logic using Apex

Build dynamic interfaces using Lightning Web Components
Implement event-driven architectures using Platform Events
