- Hands-on lab on SOQL — rewrite naive queries as relationship and aggregate queries that respect row and heap limits
- Hands-on lab on LWC — build a component with the wire service, custom properties and an Apex call, then test it in a playground
- Hands-on lab on governor limits — profile a failing batch job, find the limit that breaks it and fix the design
- Hands-on lab on Salesforce DX — convert an org to source format, create a scratch org, push, pull and resolve a tracking conflict
- Hands-on lab on Visualforce — build a page with an extension controller, cover it with test classes and check the coverage

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Salesforce developer training?
A coding course covering Apex, triggers, SOQL, Lightning Web Components, Visualforce and Salesforce DX. It teaches you to build on the platform, not to configure it from Setup.
What is the difference between Salesforce developer training and admin training?
Admin training covers Setup, objects, flows, reports and permissions. Developer training covers Apex, SOQL, governor limits, LWC and source-tracked DX workflows.
How long is Salesforce developer training?
Twelve weeks and 72 hours across 12 modules, ending with a full-stack application built in a scratch org.
Do I need Java knowledge for Salesforce development?
Not strictly, but it helps. Apex follows Java closely in syntax, classes, collections and exceptions, so a Java, C# or Python background shortens the ramp-up.
What is a scratch org in Salesforce DX?
A disposable, definition-driven org created from source. You develop in it with source tracking, then promote the metadata to a sandbox or production org.
Are Apex governor limits hard?
They are the part most candidates fail in interviews. The course drills bulkification, query rows, heap and callout limits until you can size a batch chunk by eye.
