Where to start... Apex or Lightning?
Hi, I'm a newby and am wondering whether I should be starting out with Apex or Lightning? I will be developing commercial apps that integrate with the Sage Life product. So, basically doing accountng related apps mainly for desktop (ie: browser) but also for mobile phone/watch UI's.
It basically depends on a lot of things. I do not know your full programming background but I would suggest that you pick up Visualforce/APEX first as they are well established and you can get a LOT of help in terms of searching stuff and and folks being able to help answer your questions.
Lightning is a new technology and is kind of niche...But in case you are an excellent JS developer who has a good handle on MVC frame works like Angular, then you should be able to pick up lightning with ease. There is something called Lightning connect which helps in rapid development and deployment of real time integrations.
