Who are you? Intended Audience You are familiar with Salesforce Lightning Design System Have created Lightning Components Retrieved data for a Lightning Components via apex Have customers that have requirements to satisfy

DEV 601 – Programming Lightning Components Topics included in the course Component Basics Improvements since Spring 16 Surfacing Components (SF 1) LEX, Record Home Pages & Utility Bar! Creating and Destroying Components Caching Data & Applications {!v. Body} design patterns SLDS included in the Lightning Framework Application and Component Events Lightning Base Components Inheriting from other Components Comprehensive Form Validation and theming 30% less code to complete course exercises. Developers can deliver better Lightning functionality than they could 12 months ago

Forming Solutions For Customers From a blank screen to a solution Most Training material available on Lightning Component Development is very workshop-like in nature. To Deliver Components to Customers, there a number of considerations User Interface & Customer Acceptance Component Design & Data Integration Creating Bridges between Administrators and Customers

User Interface Design Rapid Prototyping using SLDS, HTML and SASS An excellent tool introduced at Dreamforce 16 by the Salesforce. UX team Workshop: http: //sfdcworkshop. com/workshop/rapid-prototyping-with-slds Github: https: //github. com/salesforce-ux/design-system-starter-kit

Lightning Design System Starter Kit Rapid Prototyping using SLDS, HTML and SASS Has replaced Balsamiq Mockups in making mock screens for our clients Provides a near-final mock-up of the solution that is easily changed Provides HTML and mark-up for the Components

Lightning Design System Starter Kit Rapid Prototyping using SLDS, HTML and SASS Demo Can be deployed to Heroku (with Username and Password authentication) or customers to view, discuss and provide feedback before development starts. Webinar: https: //youtu. be/o. Jm 2 n. Qz-t. KM Nunjucks: https: //mozilla. github. io/nunjucks/

Lightning Design System Starter Kit Rapid Prototyping using SLDS, HTML and SASS Updated in Spring 17 Sharing json data among pages has been added. Any improvements to SLDS can be added (eg) Utility Bar

Component Design Factors to Consider Structural Components should be as small as possible Re-usability is the primary reason to create a component. . . but Cost/Benefit and Deliverability are factors too! Sandbox a specific function Simplify your code! Development of components (and events) takes time (and cost) Allows developers to separate out work Should make testing more efficient Re-usability where can my component be useful?

Developers! Build Bridges!. . . Code for the overall solution The Setup menu remains the Salesforce platform’s key feature set Developers are required when a requirement cannot be provided via the setup menu The answer is no longer – ‘Make a Visualforce Page’! • Replacing entire screens. • Maintenance costs. • Breaks the relationship between the Administrator and the Customer. With Lightning, a Developers Role is now to enhance the solution and not replace it with customised code.
