Lightning includes the Lightning
Component Framework and some exciting tools
for developers. Lightning makes it
easier to build responsive applications for any device.
Lightning includes these
technologies:
- Lightning components give you a
client-server framework that accelerates development, as well as app performance, and is ideal
for use with the Salesforce1 mobile app
and Salesforce
Lightning Experience.
- The Lightning App Builder empowers
you to build apps visually, without code, quicker than ever before using off-the-shelf and
custom-built Lightning components.
You can make your Lightning
components available in the Lightning App Builder so administrators can build custom user interfaces without code.
Using these technologies, you can seamlessly customize and easily deploy new apps to mobile
devices running Salesforce1. In fact,
the Salesforce1 mobile app and Salesforce
Lightning Experience are built with Lightning
components.
This guide provides you with an in-depth resource to help you create your own standalone Lightning apps, as well as custom Lightning components that can be used
in the Salesforce1 mobile app. You
will also learn how to package applications and components and distribute them in the AppExchange.
