Flow To Code - Starter

If you know the basics of Salesforce Flow, this course will teach you to code while giving you hands-on experience with Apex, LWC, and SOQL.

What you'll learn in this course:

• Understanding the Flow to Code Journey: We’ll begin by exploring why Flow Builders can benefit from learning development, the relationship between Flows and Apex, and the career opportunities of becoming a "hybrid specialist".
• Variables and Data Types: You'll understand how Flow variables map to Apex variables, covering core data types, as well as collections in Flow compared to Lists, Sets, and Maps in Apex. You’ll practice converting Flow variables into their Apex equivalents.
• Logic and Control Structures: You will learn how decision elements relate to if/else statements, how to handle multiple conditions, and how Flow loops compare to for-loops in Apex. Exercises will give you hands-on practice transforming Flow logic into Apex code.
• Working with Salesforce Data: This section covers how Flow’s Get Records and Create/Update Records elements map to SOQL queries and DML operations in Apex. You’ll also learn about handling bulkification and best practices for working with Salesforce data at scale.
• Flow Types and Their Code Implementation: You will explore how different Flow types translate into Apex and Lightning components, including autolaunched flows, record-triggered flows, platform event-triggered flows, scheduled flows, and screen flows. You’ll practice converting flows into Apex triggers and Lightning Web Components.
• Error Handling and Debugging: This module covers Flow fault paths, Apex try/catch blocks, and debugging techniques across both platforms. You’ll use tools like the Flow Debug panel, debug methods, and trace flags to find and fix issues.
• Advanced Patterns and Optimization: You’ll dive into asynchronous processing by comparing Flow async paths with Apex Queueables, and learn strategies for managing governor limits and optimizing performance.
• Putting It All Together: The course concludes with advanced topics such as invocable methods, testing, and deployment best practices. You’ll bring your skills together with a final Flow-to-Apex conversion project, demonstrating your ability to bridge declarative and programmatic development.

This course is lifetime access, there is no expiration.
