Using web skills in SF development

I have knowledge of HTML / CSS and some basics of JavaScript, where and how can I use this knowledge in developing on the Salesforce platform?
I know VisualForce and Lightnin Web Components use HTML. Am i right? What can you advise me, dear forum users
FYI: I do not know Java or Apex, for me it is difficult to learn programming languages.

Hi Nik,


As far as I understand your question, you know HTML, CSS, javascript, visualforce and lightning components but you have a problem with Java/Apex. In such a case, I would first like to congratulate you for knowing some of the most basic Salesforce stuff. In addition to these, I would recommend you to cover the apex part as well. You can refer to this link https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/apex_database. If you completed this you can start your career as Salesforce Lightning Component developer since you know the rest of the things required.

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Thanks and Regards,
Deepali Kulshrestha

Hi Nik,
Got your point, so you know HTML/CSS and JavaScript. That's great, now you should learn 2 things (one being Apex(salesforce programming language that mainly works in backend) and other being (Aura components)). I have attached links to both at the end you should go through it. If you complete these two modules you will be all ready to take projects on the basis of lightning components as now you can control entire salesforce frontend and backend.
Aura Component: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/lex_dev_lc_basics  (this one requires knowledge of apex and also requires lot of patience).
Apex: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/apex_database 

Hope now it helps. If it does please mark it as best answer to help others as well.
Thanks and Regards,

In fact, the scope of programming languages is very wide - from website development to business analytics and programming techniques. I studied Java Script using https://studyhippo.com/essay-examples/programming-languages/ with programming languages essay samples - then I still knew very little about it and tried to study every day. Choose an area that is not the most difficult for yourself and try to develop in it.

today is the time when it became clear that for successful business it is necessary to go online. One of the important nuances in this matter is to find really qualified IT specialists, because the competition is always very high. I was advised to look for developers on this site https://vendorland.com/  - many IT companies are collected here according to different criteria. I especially liked the support for the guys to design solutions regarding my new site
