Writing your first lines of code | Chapter 18 | Salesforce Developer Masterclass

Welcome to an exciting episode of the Salesforce Developer Masterclass, titled "Writing Your First Lines of Code in Apex." This video is designed for beginners who are ready to take their first steps into the world of Salesforce development by writing their very first lines of Apex code.
In this episode, we’ll guide you through the process of setting up your development environment and writing basic Apex code. Whether you’re completely new to programming or have some experience with other languages, this video will help you get started with Apex, Salesforce’s powerful, Java-like programming language.
Getting Started:
Development Environment: We'll show you how to set up your Salesforce development environment, including accessing the Developer Console and creating a new Apex class.
Apex Syntax Basics: Understand the basic syntax rules of Apex, including how to write comments, declare variables, and structure your code.
Writing Your First Apex Class:
Class Declaration: Learn how to declare a simple Apex class, including naming conventions and the basic structure.
Methods and Variables: We’ll walk you through writing methods and declaring variables within your class. You’ll see how to define a method that performs a basic task and how to call that method from your code.
Executing Apex Code: Discover how to run your Apex code using the Developer Console’s Execute Anonymous feature, allowing you to test and see the output of your code in real-time.
Practical Example:
Simple Calculation: As a practical example, we’ll write a method that performs a simple calculation, such as adding two numbers together. You’ll learn how to pass parameters to methods and return results.
Debugging: Learn how to use the System.debug statement to output information to the debug log, helping you to understand how your code is executed and to troubleshoot any issues.
By the end of this video, you’ll have written and executed your first lines of Apex code, giving you the confidence to explore more complex programming tasks in Salesforce. This foundational knowledge will set you on the path to becoming a proficient Salesforce developer, capable of creating robust, custom solutions within the Salesforce platform.
