Notes
Salesforce Apex is a proprietary programming language developed by Salesforce.com for their customer relationship management (CRM) platform. It is a strongly-typed, object-oriented language that allows developers to create custom business logic and integrate with other Salesforce products and third-party services.
Apex code runs on the Salesforce platform and is used to create triggers, workflows, custom user interfaces, and other customizations. It is similar to Java and C# in syntax and structure, and uses a version of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to execute code.
Apex is commonly used to automate business processes, create custom functionality, and extend the capabilities of Salesforce beyond its out-of-the-box features. It is also used to integrate Salesforce with other systems, such as accounting software, marketing automation tools, and other enterprise systems.
