Section 1: Fundamentals, Data Modeling, and Management

Before we learn how to develop on Salesforce Platform, we need to understand what the platform actually encompasses. We'll learn what the Salesforce Lightning Platform is, how businesses can leverage the multitude of features that come with it, and how it can support business processes. Once we have covered that, we'll learn about the core objects and relationships between objects that form the data model within the platform. We'll also learn how to create our own objects to tailor the platform to every business need.

The following chapters are included in this section:

  • Chapter 1, Salesforce Fundamentals
  • Chapter 2, Understanding Data Modeling and Management

Good book. However, there are so many mistakes in general in packt books which makes me thing that you are always in a hurry to publish a book without reviewing it. Those errors are so easy to spot. This also makes me think about the crdibility of the 3Book reviewer section".
