Apex Code: What you need to get started…

Following on from my previous post.

Below is what you’ll need to get started developing with Apex.

  1. A salesforce.com Developer Edition Account:
    Sign up from the developer site developer.force.com
  2. Apex Documents: (language reference)
    Available from the Developer Wiki, Apex and Visualforce Section.
  3. The Force.com IDE
    Just follow the steps on the site to set it up.
  4. A basic understanding of Object Oriented Programming.
    Personally I’ve done some C and Visual Basic programming in college but not much since. Its a benefit to understand collections and Loop structures, but not essential. If you don’t have a programming background don’t be too worried.
  5. Willingness to Learn and some Spare time:
    I put this in here for one simple reason, it takes time to learn this stuff and get to grips with it. Personally I’ve been playing around with Apex for a few months now, which has left me no time for this blog.
