Visualforce page which shows a basic Contact record

with ref to the trails head 
Create a Visualforce page which shows a basic Contact record
Using the Contact standard controller, create a Visualforce page which displays a Contact's First Name, Last Name and the Email address of the Contact's Owner. 
Challenge Requirements
The page must be named ContactView
It must reference the Contact standard controller
It should include three bound variables that use the standard controller to display the following Contact record information:
First Name
Last Name
Owner Email

when i checked the contact's field i could see first name and last name is not at all available instead just name filed is there.

<apex:page standardController="Contact">
    
    <apex:pageBlock title="Contact Summary">

Hi Ifthikar,

Contact's 'Name' field is just concatenation of FirstName, MiddleName, LastName, and Suffix.

You can reference the following docs for contact fields :
  1. https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api.meta/api/sforce_api_objects_contact.htm
  2. https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=contacts_fields.htm&type=5 (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=contacts_fields.htm&type=5)
  3. https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfFieldRef.meta/sfFieldRef/salesforce_field_reference_Contact.htm
I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Thanks
