// What you will practice

Skills and topics covered

Practice Salesforce development decisions across data modeling, Apex, triggers, Lightning components, security, testing, debugging, and deployment. Scenarios connect platform behavior and governor limits to code that is bulk-safe, secure, and maintainable.

Three developer practices contain 60 original questions each. Detailed rationales, distractor explanations, examples, and Memory Hooks support every answer.

01

Platform fundamentals

Work with multitenancy, data models, transactions, order of execution, limits, metadata, and declarative alternatives.

02

Apex and database logic

Write bulk-safe queries and DML, structure classes and triggers, handle exceptions, and control transaction behavior.

03

User interfaces

Build Lightning Web Components with reactive state, events, data access, validation, and appropriate client-server boundaries.

04

Security

Enforce sharing, object and field access, input validation, output safety, and least-privilege execution.

05

Testing and deployment

Create isolated tests, useful assertions, test data, asynchronous coverage, debugging evidence, and repeatable releases.

// Who this is for

Build the judgment behind the answer

Designed for developers beginning or consolidating Salesforce Platform development with Apex, Lightning Web Components, data access, tests, and release practices.

// How to prepare

Use each practice deliberately

  1. Trace every code scenario through transaction scope, record volume, limits, security, and expected side effects.
  2. Know when declarative automation is sufficient and when custom code provides a justified capability.
  3. Review tests for isolation, representative data, positive and negative paths, and meaningful assertions.
  4. Use Memory Hooks to retain platform rules, then explain the example without looking at the answer.
