Salesforce Lightning Overview

Salesforce introduced Salesforce Lightning to help enterprises that are looking forward to engaging potential leads using multiple channels. Lightning makes it easier to build responsive applications for any device within less amount of time and effort. Initially, Salesforce Lightning was designed for mobile devices, after the establishment of the design framework and completion of a mobile application, the desktop version was also brought under its range. Lightning components give you a client-server framework that speeds up the development improves the app performance, and is ideal for use with the Salesforce1 Simulator mobile app.

Our training and certification program gives you a solid understanding of the key topics covered on the Salesforce Lightning. In addition to boosting your income potential, getting certified in Salesforce Lightning demonstrates your knowledge of the skills necessary to be an effective Professional. The certification validates your ability to produce reliable, high-quality results with increased efficiency and consistency.

Then, What is this Lightning Component Framework?

The Lightning Component framework is a UI framework for developing dynamic web apps for mobile and desktop devices. It’s a modern framework for building single-page applications engineered for growth.

The framework supports partitioned multi-tier component development that bridges the client and server. It uses JavaScript on the client side and Apex on the server side.

When there are famous JS UI Frameworks such as AngularJS,  KnockOut, BackBone, Mercury etc, Why should I choose “Lighnting Component Framework”  ?

Because..

The benefits include an out-of-the-box set of components, event-driven architecture, and a framework optimized for performance.

Out-of-the-Box Component Set

Comes with an out-of-the-box set of components to kick-start building apps. You don't have to spend your time optimizing your apps for different devices as the components take care of that for you.

Rich component ecosystem

Create business-ready components and make them available in Salesforce1, Lightning Experience, and Communities. Salesforce1 users access your components via the navigation menu. Customize Lightning Experience or Communities using drag-and-drop components on a Lightning Page in the Lightning App Builder or using Community Builder. Additional components are available for your org in the AppExchange. Similarly, you can publish your components and share them with other users.

Performance

Uses a stateful client and stateless server architecture that relies on JavaScript on the client side to manage UI component metadata and application data. The client calls the server only when absolutely necessary; for example to get more metadata or data. The server only sends data that is needed by the user to maximize efficiency. The framework uses JSON to exchange data between the server and the client. It intelligently utilizes your server, browser, devices, and network so you can focus on the logic and interactions of your apps.

Event-driven architecture

Uses an event-driven architecture for better decoupling between components. Any component can subscribe to an application event, or to a component event they can see.

Faster development

Empowers teams to work faster with out-of-the-box components that function seamlessly with desktop and mobile devices. Building an app with components facilitates parallel design, improving overall development efficiency.

Components are encapsulated and their internals stays private, while their public shape is visible to consumers of the component. This strong separation gives component authors freedom to change the internal implementation details and insulates component consumers from those changes.

Device-aware and cross-browser compatibility

Apps use responsive design and provide an enjoyable user experience. The Lightning Component framework supports the latest in browser technology such as HTML5, CSS3, and touch events.
