In this book, we cover basic app development and also explain how advanced development takes place. Most web and mobile apps today are single-page apps (SPAs). Because of this, Salesforce has also introduced Lightning Experience, which is a SPA or an OPA. We develop modern and interactive desktop apps and mobile apps with Lightning Framework. So we need to upgrade from Salesforce Classic, which is the old UI, to Lightning Experience, which is the modern UI. For the brevity of the book we are not diving deep into advanced concepts such as client-side controllers, server-side controllers, event debugging, lack of service, and more.

This book is ideal for Salesforce developers, admins, sales consultants, and sales managers who are comfortable using the features of Lightning to build basic apps.

, Lightning Enablement , helps you with the switch from Salesforce Classic to Lightning Experience.

, Lightning C onfiguration , looks at point-and-click tools, drag-and-drop tools, and also looks into Lightning Experience page development.

, Lightning Components , explains the coding and concepts of Lightning Framework a little bit. We are also using custom components in the Lightning development.

, Visualforce Pages , will help us understand how the Visualforce pages are used in the Lightning, how to get Lightning like Visualforce pages, as well as how to use Lightning components in Visualforce pages.

, Lightning Design Systems , explains what Salesforce Lightning Design Systems is, and covers some style classes to use on Visualforce pages.

This book is aimed at Salesforce developers, administrators, sales consultants, and sales managers who are comfortable with using the features of Lightning to build basic apps.
