1. What is Apex

Ans: It is the in-house technology of salesforce.com which is similar to Java programming with object oriented concepts and to write our own custom logic.

2. What is S-Control ?
Ans: S-Controls are the predominant salesforce.com widgets which are completely based on Javascript. These are hosted by salesforce but executed at client side. S-Controls are superseded by Visualforce now.

3. What is a Visualforce Page ?
Ans: Visualforce is the new markup language from salesforce, by using which, We can render the standard styles of salesforce. We can still use HTML here in Visualforce. Each visualforce tag always begins with “apex” namespace. All the design part can be acomplished by using Visualforce Markup Language and the business logic can be written in custom controllers associated with the Page.

4. Will Visual force still supports the merge fields usage like S-control ?
Ans: Yes. Just like S-Controls, Visualforce Pages support embedded merge fields, like the {!$User.FirstName} used in the example.

5. Where to write Visualforce code ?
Ans: You can write the code basically in 3 ways.

setup->App Setup->Develop->Pages and create new Visulaforce page.
Setup -> My Personal Information -> Personal Information -> Edit check the checkbox development mode. When you run the page like this, https://ap1.salesforce.com/apex/MyTestPage. you will find the Page editor at the bottom of the page. You can write you page as well as the controller class associated with it, there it self.
Using EclipseIDE you can create the Visulaforce page and write the code.

6.What are Apex Governor Limits?

Governor limits are runtime limits enforced by the Apex runtime engine. Because Apex runs in a shared, multitenant environment, the Apex runtime engine strictly enforces a number of limits to ensure that code does not monopolize shared resources. Types of limits that Apex enforces are resources like memory, database resources, number of script statements to avoid infinite loops, and number of records being processed. If code exceeds a limit, the associated governor issues a runtime exception.

7. How to create and host S Control in Salesforce ?

  Hi Kumar,
  Sure Salesforce CRM will add weight on your resume. As name suggest its Typical CRM but it can be used to build any type of application most of the time without code.
  “Salesforce Admin” course for the salesforce will surely help you.

  Hey Tinku,
  Salesforce will surely add a weightage on your resume but it depends on your job requirements.
  Basically salesforce is cloud based CRM tool which can build the applications on just click without any coding.

what is master detailed relationship & look up relationship? also difference between them. i need to understand these terms by simple examples
- Anonymous
  
  Hi Shilpagya,
  
  Master Detail relationship is the Parent child relationship. In which Master represents Parent and detail represents Child. If Parent is deleted then Child also gets deleted. Rollup summary fields can only be created on Master records which will calculate the SUM, AVG, MIN of the Child records.Look up relationship is something like “has-a” relationship. Where one record has reference to other records. When one record is deleted then there is no impact on other records.

  Hi Mahesh,
  CRM stands for “Customer relationship management”, This is one of the business domain which is available out of the box in salesforce. The big players to provide CRM other than salesforce are oracle’s “Siebel”, Microsoft’s “Microsoft Dynamic”, open source application “SugarCRM”.
  To read more in detail please refer this wiki article, it has good information.

what is the difference between java and salesforce ?
pls giv me reply…
- http://shivasoft.in Jitendra Zaa
  
  Java is the OOPS programming language developed by James Gosling from Sun Microsystem, now its part of the Oracle.
  However the Apex is the Inhouse programming language of the Salesforce.com. The syntax and principals of Apex are inspired by the Java only. All the apex code internally compiled as java program in salesforce cloud. I hope this would help you to better understand the difference in both language.
