 Lessons Learned.
 Summary.
 Demo.

3.  Salesforce.com is a global enterprise software.
 It is best known for its customer relationship management (CRM)
product.
 SalesForce.com’s CRM solution is broken down into several broad
categories:
• Sales Cloud.
• Service Cloud.
• Data Cloud.
• Collaboration Cloud.
• Custom Cloud (including Force.com).

4.  The project mainly deals with providing web services using
SalesForce.com.
 Creating an account with SalesForce.com.
 SalesForce.com let’s us create our own tabs with our own specifications.
 It lets us create a webpage and then link it to the database.
 The webpage’s are created using APEX.

6.  The Front end technologies that were used to create the webpage and the
web services are as follows:
• APEX.
• HTML
• XML
• JavaScript.
 The backend is done by linking the webpage to the database.
 This helps in storing the data such as login names, email id’s of users,
password generator, security questions etc.,

7.  Force.com Apex Code is a strongly-typed programming language that
executes on the Force.com platform.
 Apex is used to add business logic to applications, to write database
triggers, and to program controllers in the user interface layer.
 It has the usual array of features such as classes, interfaces, constants,
class variables, and annotations. Unusually, Apex is not case sensitive.
 Apex supports a number of different data types:
• primitive data types such as Integer and Date
• sObject types that represent persistent objects
• collections and enumerations
• user and system-defined Apex classes
 The primitive data types include:
• Blob - for storing binary data
• Boolean
• Date, Time and Datetime
• Decimal - for representing arbitrary precession numbers, including currency
• ID - the Force.com database record identifier type
• Integer, Long, Double and String

8.  Visual force.
 Database.com
 Site.com
 Force.com
 There is also another way of creating a website and linking it to the
database.
 Creating a website can be done by using SalesForce.com’s Site.com and
then linking it to the SalesForce.com’s Database.com but the drawback is
that this could happen only if we registered for a premium membership and
would not work with the trial version.

9.  Salesforce.com provides programmatic access to the organization’s
information using simple, powerful, and secure application programming
interfaces.
 The Salesforce prebuilt applications provide powerful CRM functionality.
In addition, Salesforce provides the ability to customize the prebuilt
applications to fit the organization.
 However, the organization may have complex business processes that are
unsupported by the existing functionality.
 When this is the case, the Force.com platform includes a number of ways
for advanced administrators and developers to implement custom
functionality.
 The custom functionality includes the Web services API, Apex,
and Visualforce.

14.  A site consists of 3 components:
• The Force.com domain name that uniquely identifies your specific organization
(case insensitive)
• The path identifies the specific site (case sensitive)
• A Visualforce page that is associated with your site (case insensitive)
 Each of these paths will have a unique path in the site URL to differentiate
one site from another.
