Description

Salesforce makes architecting enterprise grade applications easy and secure – but you'll need guidance to leverage its full capabilities and deliver top-notch products for your customers.

This guide will teach you advanced application architectural design patterns such as separation of concerns, unit testing, and dependency injection. You'll also get to grips with Apex and fflib, create scalable services with Java, Node.js, and other languages using Salesforce Functions and Heroku, and find new ways to test Lightning UIs. These key topics, alongside a new chapter on exploring asynchronous processing features, are unique to this edition. You'll also benefit from an extensive case study based on how the Salesforce Platform delivers solutions. By the end of this Salesforce book, whether you are looking to publish the next amazing application on AppExchange or build packaged applications for your organization, you will be prepared with the latest innovations on the platform.

As a technical instructor and application developer, I’ve found that not too many people read thick technical books anymore. But for Salesforce developers and architects, especially those new to the platform, reading the right book from the right author with the right perspective and experience, on the right concepts and topics can mean the difference between success or failure of a project. For those focused on enterprise class business applications or ISV product development, such is Andy Fawcett's fourth edition of his book on Salesforce Platform Enterprise Architecture, current to the Summer 23 latest release.What makes Andy’s book different is his extremely deep dive into architecting and implementing applications at enterprise scale utilizing current platform features with the most recent developer tooling, all the while utilizing enterprise class traditional software development patterns and best practices.He targets architects and developers who need to understand the platform at a deeper level to support their development effort. He presents his technical knowledge, wisdom and perspective gained during his many years as CTO of FinancialForce an AppExchange ISV, where he and his dev team pushed the envelope on what was possible with Apex and Force.com. That was well before he joined Salesforce, where he now helps build out platform capabilities as a VP of Product Management for the Platform Team. The depth and breadth of his content is far too detailed to outline here, however I think the following sections stand out.He begins with an introduction and walk-through of the Salesforce Developer Experience (SFDX) showing how it supports enterprise class application development, whether for a business application or ISV product. He introduces the tools, packaging mechanisms, and the use of the Salesforce Command Line Interface (CLI) and shows how it provides everything needed for development, packaging and deployment across the platform landscape. You also get a sample application to work with for hands-on learning as you explore the development process and the coding patterns he will introduce later in the book.He walks through an inventory of the many current key platform features, including the component based UI framework Lightning Web Components, and many supporting declarative low code automation and customization tools. He describes the purpose and key usage of each, and provides context and perspective on the dependency relationships between various aspects of the platform. His valuable guidance points out some of the common pitfalls inherent in the nature of the platform, and I love how he inserts page notes containing tips relevant to a particular topic of discussion with curated links back to relevant product documentation.His adoption and adaptation of Martin Fowler's traditional software development patterns around Separation of Concerns (SOC) and related best practices evolved from his company’s earliest product architecture designed to tame APEX execution. The SOC coding framework they built (fflib) allowed the company's product to push the limits of the platform. While still CTO at FinancialForce, deeply involved as a Salesforce MVP, Andy open sourced fflib as a contribution to the developer community making it available to all. He provides his current thinking and perspective on each of the layers - Service, Domain and Selector - along with a sample application to explore and demonstrate scalability and maintainability patterns for any Apex code base.He includes a detailed discussion of governor limits and strategies to leverage Heroku and Salesforce Functions to scale out complex operations beyond platform limits. His DevOps, Continuous Integration (CI) and testing chapters include Apex unit testing as well as the web component testing frameworks JEST and UTAM, and additional chapters on ancillary critical areas include data storage, transactions, caching, security, scaling, integrating external systems and much more.In summary, Andy's book embodies the wisdom of one who has truly been over the mountain and is still pushing the limits of the platform. It's a must read, whether you're an application developer, architect, or business analyst. Expect to come away with a deep understanding of the depth and breadth of the Salesforce platform, along with a tried and true architectural approach that can seriously impact your success, and help you architect and build your systems with scalability, sustainability, and maintainability.

Andrew Fawcett again has hit it out of the park with this very informative book that you can reference back to. It provides clear explanations, examples, and screen examples. Even a person with a little ADHD can concentrate and grasp the information. No huge paragraphs of boring text make for a cure for insomnia. This text engages your attention. Easy to follow along but not dumbing you down. It is covering some intelligent processes of Salesforce Dev.The presentation is not boring. There are bitable bits of information that make it easier to digest in the brain so it stays. From things like Tips and Warnings in sections, diagrams, and shots of Salesforce screens, and summaries at the end of each chapter.

Andrew Fawcett’s book - "Salesforce Platform Enterprise Architecture" is a must read for developers and architects. It is a guide on how to write code for reuse and maintainability. It introduces many platform features that enable robust and scalable software design.Are you familiar with layered way of writing code that enables separation of concerns. Or how to trace execution of synchronous and asynchronous code? Or to determine how the apex code was invoked and in what context it is running? You can find all these answers in the book and many, many more. This is a must read for new developers and a good refresh for seasoned developers.
