Visualforce is Salesforce’s all-in-one UI programming language.
Follow these guides in order to quickly learn Visualforce – there’s not a lot to it!
Beginning Visualforce:
- Getting started with Visualforce
- The Model-View-Controller pattern
- Where to write Visualforce code
- Example: How to create a basic Visualforce page
- Combining HTML, CSS, and Javascript in Visualforce
Advanced Visualforce:
- Introduction to Controllers and Extensions
- How to use advanced Visualforce components
- Example: How to create an interactive Visualforce page!
- Example: How to write a test class for a Visualforce page!
Psst – don’t forget to check out the official Visualforce tutorials on Trailhead!
Hi David,
Are you gonna create a similar UI tutorial for Lightning Web Components (LWC)?
Thanks!
Probably not!
First off, great site.
I am new here I am coming from a .NET world but it appears my company is about to get into SalesForce.
Actually, they are looking to get Revenova (https://www.revenova.com/) which is a CRM on top of Salesforce.
They coding their UI using the Lightning framework rather then using VisualForce.
I come across this
https://docmation.com/visualforce-or-lightning/#:~:text=Visualforce%20assists%20in%20the%20creation,both%20mobile%20and%20desktop%20devices.
The bottom line is I know nothing about Salesforce, I come from the .NET world.
What would you suggest for me to start learning to be productive in this new field?
David – got really excited by the first few chapters here especially as Salesforce don’t have any VF tutorials left on Trailhead (and my employer’s org’s not moving to lighting anytime soon…) But sooo many empty links in the content list David – so much untapped potential… When are you going to finish this so it’s the kickass, world-class set of resources it is meant to be?
Hi David,
It would be of great help if you could also include Visualforce concepts in your 15 week Developer course, like how you did for Apex triggers, SOQL and Lightning. Or can you recommend some good resources apart from Trailhead to get me started on Visualforce programming?
I’ve been preparing for my interviews and just started watching your videos on Pluralsight- very well structured and clearly explained. Love watching and along with you. Great work David!
Thanks,

Hi David,
I need a quick guidance from you. I am from a backend development background using C# and Java. So Apex is pretty fine for me. I am having hard time in Visualforce programming as I don’t have much experience of UI development. Could you suggest how to go about learning it?
Also please suggest how much CSS and JavaScript learning is required apart from Visualforce programming. I see to learn this, I need to learn HTML, CSS & JavaScript. Do I need to be expert in this to learn Visualforce?
Any suggestion is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Bikram.
Yup – you need to be excellent at HTML, CSS, and Javascript!
David, why cant we see the later tutorials? I want to start on the advanced bit :( trailhead is not as good as your site so I want to learn from you !!
Thanks for the compliment! =)
I only planned them in my head, nothing yet in writing! My timelines change so much I don’t know when these will be live!
ahh I see, Ok well no worries! Thanks ever so much for all your help in getting me into the coding world; your lessons have been invaluable and I have moved from being a scared of code to releasing really useful stuff to the production environment :)
Hi David,
Hats off to you for such a wonderful site for salesforce learners like me. My humble request to you is that can u start a tutorial on this Flows / Visual WorkFlows and process builder as it might be very helpful for us since wwe might be able to learn how to design a complex but efficient Flows to automate certain processes like submissions for approval, sharing etc. Thank you.
Strongly considering this – thank you!
pls reply me
1. Make a APEX page
2. Take ONE standard object, let’s say “Opportunity”
3. Write code for global search, which will look to each column to “Opportunity” object and display the matching records on same page.
4. Please note, if I add any new column to “Opportunity”, your code should consider any newly added column as well in search
Thanks david for your wonderful work.can you upload the lessons in DATA LOADER.
You can find some good ones online for data loader – I probably won’t have any tutorials on it for this site!
(I prefer Workbench instead BTW!)
Pls update the Advanced visual force course material
Thank you David for the great stuff on the page. Could you please help access the “Advanced Visual Force..”
Hi David, Thank You very much for great help. Could you please help to access “Advanced Visualforce:”..
Hi David,
Appreciate your effort in starting VisualForce series. Thank you.
Eagerly waiting for the remaining chapters on VF and Apex.
Can you also start some series on some sample Salesforce project?? It would be fun learning from you.
It’s on my list of TO DOs but there is just wayyyy too much to do and so little time!
Thank you so much David for starting Visualforce… I am working my best to grab a Salesforce Dev job and all these are helping me a lot in my learning and my move from .NET to Salesforce…
Thank you very much David, I was stuck at Triggers..and you gave me a kick start…May God Bless you…
Head First Java, Apex and now VisualForce. All of this is getting too much to handle but I’m not complaining! This is so much fun! Keep them coming David =)
