Introduction to the ProjectThe project mainly deals with providing web services using SalesForce.com.

Creating an account with SalesForce.com.

SalesForce.com lets us create our own tabs with our own specifications.

It lets us create a webpage and then link it to the database.

The webpages are created using APEX.

Virtual Force in Action

Technologies UsedThe Front end technologies that were used to create the webpage and the web services are as follows:APEX.HTMLXMLJavaScript.

The backend is done by linking the webpage to the database.

This helps in storing the data such as login names, email ids of users, password generator, security questions etc.,

Introduction to APEXForce.com Apex Code is a strongly-typed programming language that executes on the Force.com platform. Apex is used to add business logic to applications, to write database triggers, and to program controllers in the user interface layer. It has the usual array of features such as classes, interfaces, constants, class variables, and annotations. Unusually, Apex is not case sensitive.Apex supports a number of different data types:primitive data types such as Integer and DatesObject types that represent persistent objectscollections and enumerationsuser and system-defined Apex classesThe primitive data types include:Blob - for storing binary dataBooleanDate, Time and DatetimeDecimal - for representing arbitrary precession numbers, including currencyID - the Force.com database record identifier typeInteger, Long, Double and String

Lessons LearnedVisual force.Database.comSite.comForce.comThere is also another way of creating a website and linking it to the database.Creating a website can be done by using SalesForce.coms Site.com and then linking it to the SalesForce.coms Database.com but the drawback is that this could happen only if we registered for a premium membership and would not work with the trial version.
