This book aims to introduce you to Visualforce development tools to develop a better perspective towards UI development with Visualforce, and take your expertise in UI development to the next level. As you read through the content, you will notice that this book focuses on a single real-world example. This book builds upon this example to help you understand and use Visualforce development tools in your custom UI interfaces. Special emphasis is given to building a rich user interface by leveraging JavaScript, jQuery, CSS, and HTML with Visualforce. Through the course of the book, you will learn how to reuse the code with the help of custom components, and minimize the Visualforce and Apex code through Visualforce dynamic binding. The later sections of the book focus on building Visualforce pages for mobile devices. By the end of the book, you will learn the best practices and security tips for Apex and Visualforce development. Cloud platforms allow the developers to develop apps and run them on the Cloud, including platforms for building on-demand applications and We will go through the MVC architecture and Visualforce. Furthermore, we will look at the architecture of Visualforce pages. We will define the advantages of Visualforce pages and will get an idea about Visualforce development tools. This chapter covers the following topics: The MVC model Understanding Visualforce Visualforce architecture Advantages of Visualforce Visualforce development tools So let's get started and step into Visualforce. MVC splits the application development tools as follows: Salesforce has designed the platform by mapping every entity to some object. The rules and actions which manipulate the data controls the view. In Force.com, The MVC Architecture Every object has a standard user interface with one or more page layouts. But we cannot use standard page layouts for sophisticated requirements. Here, Visualforce comes into play.

Visualforce is a web-based UI framework, which can be used for building sophisticated, attractive, and dynamic custom user interfaces. Visualforce allows the developer to use standard web development technologies such as jQuery, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. Therefore, we can build rich UIs for any app including mobile apps. We'll be discussing about Visualforce with standard web development technologies and Visualforce for mobile in more depth later. Similar to HTML, the Visualforce framework includes a tag-based markup language. A Visualforce page has two major elements called Visualforce markup and Visualforce controller. Visualforce markup consists of Visualforce tags with the prefix apex:, and there can be HTML tags, JavaScript, or any other standard web development code. Visualforce controller consists of a set of instructions to manipulate data and schema with the user interaction. It controls the interface as well. A standard controller, which is created along with the object can be used as Visualforce controller. A standard controller has the same logic and functionality which is used in standard pages. But when we need to use a different logic or functionality, we can write our own Apex controller class, and we can also write extensions to standard controllers or custom controllers using the Apex language. AJAX components, expression language formula for actions, and component binding interactions are there in Visualforce. Visualforce pages run on the Force.com platform and it can integrate with standard web development technologies such as JavaScript, jQuery, and styling by CSS. It allows us to build more rich and animated UIs. Each page can be identified by a unique page name. Therefore a Visualforce page has a unique URL for accessing the page.

A developer can create a Visualforce page by entering the page name in the address bar, as shown in the following screenshot: Create a Visualforce page from a URL After creating the page, we can access the page by using the same URL. The Visualforce markup has a special set of components which is similar to the tag library system of other markups. These components allow us to create complicated components with a single tag. These components are processed and rendered on servers and finally delivered to the client. This methodology has higher performance and enriched functionality when compared to the client-only methods. A Visualforce page runs on the platform shown in following diagram: Execution flow while saving Visualforce on a server The preceding digram illustrates that every time a developer saves a Visualforce page on a platform, the platform compiles the markup and related controllers. On successful compilation, markup is converted into an abstract set of instructions that can be understood by the Visualforce renderer. If there are any compilation errors, then it stops saving the page and returns the errors to the developer. If the saving attempt successfully finished, then the instructions are saved to the metadata repository and sent to the Visualforce renderer. The renderer converts the instructions into HTML, which can be understood by the browsers, and then refreshes the page as shown in the following diagram: Execution flow of Visualforce page The preceding diagram illustrates that when a non-developer user requests a Visualforce page, the application server retrieves the page from the metadata repository and then sends to the Visualforce renderer for HTML conversion. There is no compilation because the page has already been compiled into instructions during its development. The Visualforce controller which can be associated with Visualforce markup takes care of the business logic.

Therefore, the designer and the developer can work separately, while the designer focuses on user interface and the developer focuses on business logic. This editor pane is controlled by the Development Mode option of the user record. This feature allows us to edit and see the resulting page at the same time and in the same window. This Visualforce editor has the code-saving feature with auto compilation and syntax highlighting. There are output components, for example,,,,,and so on. There are input components, for example,,,,, and so on. These input and output components have a feature called data-driven defaults. There are also AJAX components, for example. AJAX components allow the user to enhance the level of interactivity for a particular interface. A standard controller is created while creating the object and can be used for the Visualforce controller. Visualforce pages adhere to these standardized methods and functionality. And we can also extend the standard components with custom components. For example, we can use an extension class for extending the standard controller of a particular Visualforce page. We can create our own Visualforce custom components instead of Visualforce in-built components for example,,,, and so on. In the next two chapters we will discuss more about Visualforce controllers and Visualforce custom components. A designer can use the Visualforce tags with these web technologies. There are a few other ways to build Visualforce pages, which are as follows: We saw the Visualforce architecture and the advantages of Visualforce, and also the various Visualforce development tools.

While there is a lot of useful information in this book, my main criticism is around the introduction of each new technology. In the main it is just dropped on the reader without much explanation of why its a good idea to use it. If I were new to something like the JQuery JavaScript framework, for example, I’d want to understand why I should be using that as opposed to vanilla JavaScript - and as I’m not new to JQuery I know there are a number of good reasons. So while this is a good book, it could have been great a little more emphasis on educating the reader rather than just showing them the mechanics.I pretty much had made my decision to NOT recommend the book when I read through the code on the top of Page 19. Why would you leave the action buttons on a page from which the user is not allowed to make any changes. There are better resources available. In the Visual Force markup language, each Visual Force tag corresponds to a coarse or fine-grained user interface component, such as a section of a page, a related list, or a field. The behavior of Visual Force components can either be controlled by the same logic that is used in standard Salesforce pages, or developers can associate their own logic with a controller class written in Apex. Each tag contains attributes and attributes defines the properties of the tag. By default each tag has two attributes. Create dashboard components on custom help pages Customize, extend on integrating the sideboards in the service cloud console(custom console components) Standard Controller StandardController objects reference the pre-built Visual Force controllers provided by salesforce.com. The only time it is necessary to refer to a StandardController object is when defining an extension for a standard controller. StandardController is the data type of the single argument in the extension class constructor. Standard Controller is used for customization of both standard and custom objects.
Controller The Controller is an apex class which is used to implement all the logic of VisualForce page without leveraging the standard functionality.
