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.
- A salesforce.com Developer Edition Account: sign up from the developer site developer.force.com
- Apex Documents: available from the Developer Wiki, Apex and Visualforce Section.
- The Force.com IDE: just follow the steps on the site to set it up.
- 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.
- 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.
