Building Salesforce Apps Through Lightning

Building Salesforce Apps Through Lightning

• Salesforce users have been complaining majorly
  about the User Interface being clunky. The web
  has moved to responsive design and the
  Salesforce UI did not evolve at the same rate,
  initially. This made Salesforce reconsider the
  way their platform is designed and the way apps
  are built on it. All this led to the launch of a
  new platform that Salesforce has named as
  'Lightning' and is also called "The future of
  CRM". Lightning is designed to bring additional
  analytics and in-line intelligence to drive more
  sales and is a completely new implementation of
  Salesforce. This is done by focussing completely
  on the application logic and democratizing app
  creation on the platform. The major changes that
  have been brought with the Lightning platform-
• A New Information Architecture
• Relevant information is surfaced for each screen,
  streamlining process and workflows, with
  Lightning. The 'Activity Feed', eg, surfaces the
  latest updates assigned to a Sales Representative
  from all accounts. To see everything going on
  with a customer without going to different pages
  in the application, one can use the 'Contextual
  Hovers'. To get the complete picture across all
  of your deals there is the 'Opportunity Board'.
  And, finally, there are customizable dashboards
  that allow pick and choose what data one would
  like to have at fingertips even if it's not
  available by default. The end users get more
  power in their hands and which in turn will turn
  into a more satisfying experience for the Sales
  team.
• A new Design Language

Irrespective of the device, all the new features
available within the UI work in the same way.
For this Lightning delivers a new design language
which promises a consumer-like experience across
every device, browser and operating system. This
is in turn useful in making Salesforce a
responsive platform. 3. A new way to build
Apps The number of custom apps developed on the
Salesforce platform has increased tremendously
because of Lightning. Even the non-developer
users are now able to build apps as Salesforce
has greatly democratized the app development
process. By simply using the drag-and-drop visual
interface of Lightning Components, any user can
start building apps. To provide more flexibility
for how the system is designed and made it easy
for the previous complex workflows, Lightning
apps can be built as standalone apps on top of
existing Salesforce applications or Salesforce1
mobile applications. It's very easy and simple
task to build basic applications and do simple
customizations, but if one is into this business,
then it becomes inevitable to design complex
applications with intricate application logic.
It may also happen that one does not have the
talent or bandwidth internally to develop these
apps on their own and also if it is done
incorrectly, one could end up in building
incorrect apps without gaining the desired
results and are incompatible with each other.
This makes it more beneficial and safe to work
with a Salesforce Lightening Developer so that
one does not waste time and energy in building
inappropriate apps. Reference -
