Introduction to Salesforce Development

Salesforce Development is the process of building and customizing applications on the Salesforce platform to meet specific business needs. Salesforce provides an extensive suite of tools and services for developing cloud-based applications, including customer relationship management (CRM) solutions, automated workflows, and analytics. Salesforce developers use a variety of languages and technologies, such as Apex, Visualforce, Lightning Web Components (LWC), and Salesforce’s declarative tools, to create, manage, and deploy custom solutions. The platform enables businesses to automate processes, improve customer experiences, and enhance collaboration between teams.
