Overview

“Vibe Coding for Salesforce Developers” is a hands-on course for roles such as Salesforce developers working with Apex and Lightning Web Components, Salesforce architects and technical leads and Salesforce administrators who also develop. Rather than learning Vibe Coding in the abstract, you work on tasks from your daily routine – with examples, exercises and templates from Salesforce Development.

Vibe coding is a new style of software development: you describe in natural language what an application should do, and AI tools generate the code for it. Instead of writing every line yourself, you steer through descriptions, examples and feedback, test the result and refine it in short loops. This dramatically speeds up prototypes, internal tools and experiments. This vendor-neutral course shows you how to use vibe coding productively with tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or browser-based app builders.

Knowing the limits matters just as much as speed. Uncontrolled generated code can be unmaintainable, insecure or simply wrong. You will therefore learn to state requirements precisely, safeguard results with tests and reviews, spot typical security flaws and steer the architecture deliberately. Finally, you will map out a clear path from quick prototype to production-ready application, covering version control, deployment, documentation and a clean handover to the team that will run and maintain the solution over the long term.

Salesforce orgs grow over the years into complex platforms of Apex classes, triggers, flows, Lightning Web Components and integrations. AI coding assistants and agents help Salesforce developers write Apex and LWC faster, generate test classes with meaningful coverage, account for governor limits early and move sprawling trigger logic into clean frameworks. They support SOQL optimisation, metadata analysis and the migration from Process Builder and workflow rules to Flow. Because Salesforce code must be multi-tenant aware, bulkified and security-conscious, AI needs targeted context and clear rules. In this course you learn to combine AI tools with Salesforce CLI, scratch orgs and your DevOps pipeline while reliably respecting sharing rules, field-level security and platform limits.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.

Who is this course for?

  • Salesforce developers working with Apex and Lightning Web Components
  • Salesforce architects and technical leads
  • Salesforce administrators who also develop

Typical challenges we address

  • Governor limits, bulkification and trigger recursion cause hard-to-reproduce errors
  • Mandatory test coverage consumes a lot of time writing test classes
  • Mature orgs with overlapping triggers, flows and processes and no documentation
  • Security requirements such as CRUD and FLS checks and sharing are often forgotten in code

What you will be able to do

  • You build working applications in natural language with a suitable AI tool.
  • You phrase requirements and constraints so that generated results meet your expectations.
  • You iterate purposefully, fix errors efficiently and stay in control of the project state.
  • You safeguard generated code with tests, reviews and security checks.
  • Develop Apex and Lightning Web Components with AI support that are bulkified, secure and within limits.
  • Generate meaningful test classes and analyse org metadata systematically with AI agents.
  • Integrate AI tools with Salesforce CLI, scratch orgs and your deployment pipeline.

Course outline

Day 1

Module 1 Vibe coding fundamentals
  • What vibe coding is and how it differs from traditional and agentic development
  • The tool landscape: AI editors, coding agents and browser-based app builders
  • Good use cases: prototypes, internal tools, experiments, learning projects
  • Roles: you as product owner, the AI as the one doing the typing
Module 2 From prompt to app
  • Describing requirements as a short spec covering users, features and boundaries
  • Choosing the tech stack and project structure deliberately rather than leaving it to the AI
  • Generating user interfaces from descriptions, sketches and reference examples
  • Adding data, APIs and persistence step by step
Module 3 Iterating and fixing problems
  • Working in small, verifiable steps and committing regularly
  • Feeding error messages, logs and screenshots back to the AI
  • Recognising stuck sessions, rolling back and restarting with fresh context
  • Creating project rules and context files to avoid repeating yourself
Module 4 Securing quality and safety
  • Having the AI generate tests and critically assessing what they actually prove
  • Reviewing generated changes for readability, duplication and needless complexity
  • Spotting typical security flaws: secrets in code, missing validation, exposed endpoints
  • Assessing dependencies, licences and data protection in generated solutions

Day 2

Module 5 From prototype to production
  • Setting criteria for evolving a prototype versus rebuilding it
  • Refactoring, cleaning up architecture and documenting with AI support
  • Setting up version control, CI and deployment for generated applications
  • Planning operations, monitoring and handover to a team or IT
Module 6 Practice lab: Salesforce Development
  • Writing bulkified Apex
  • Generating test classes
  • Building Lightning Web Components
  • Optimising SOQL and performance
  • Analysing org metadata
  • Preparing for security review
Module 7 Data protection, quality & transfer to daily work
  • Salesforce orgs hold customer and sales data: you learn to share only metadata and anonymised samples with AI services, protect credentials and connected app secrets, implement GDPR requirements for data retention and clarify licensing questions around generated code in AppExchange packages.
  • Ground rules for safe AI use in your team
  • Checking results: facts, sources, tests and the four-eyes principle
  • Personal action plan for the next 30 days
  • Open questions, outlook and resources for further learning

Practical scenarios from your field

Writing bulkified Apex

Generate trigger handlers, service classes and batch or queueable jobs that keep SOQL and DML out of loops, respect governor limits and apply patterns such as trigger frameworks consistently.

Generating test classes

Create meaningful Apex tests with test data factories, positive and negative cases, bulk scenarios and assertions that verify real logic rather than just coverage, including mocks for callouts.

Building Lightning Web Components

Develop LWC components with wire adapters, Apex controllers, Lightning Data Service and Jest tests, and migrate existing Aura components step by step. Accessibility and loading states are covered too.

Optimising SOQL and performance

Write selective queries, interpret Query Plan results, spot large data volume issues and propose alternatives such as custom indexes, skinny tables or asynchronous processing. This prevents timeouts as data grows.

Analysing org metadata

Evaluate retrieved metadata to document automations per object, dependencies between fields, flows and Apex, and unused components, and plan clean-up work. The result is finally up-to-date documentation.

Preparing for security review

Examine Apex and LWC for missing CRUD and FLS checks, SOQL injection, unsafe sharing settings and cross-site scripting, and implement fixes using user mode and stripInaccessible.

Possible hands-on projects

Automation map

A script that reads an org’s metadata and shows every trigger, flow and validation rule per object, including execution order, in one overview.

Test data factory generator

A tool that produces a reusable Apex factory from object and field definitions, with required fields and valid picklist values.

LWC dashboard component

A Lightning Web Component that aggregates an account’s key figures from several objects and displays them with filters and drill-down.

Prerequisites

Basic programming knowledge and some Git experience are helpful; you should be able to read simple code and make sense of error messages. You already develop in Apex or Lightning Web Components and have a working knowledge of the Salesforce data model, governor limits and Salesforce CLI.

Technical requirements

Your own laptop with an up-to-date browser, Git and an AI coding tool of your choice, such as an AI editor or coding agent with an active account.

Data protection & compliance

Salesforce orgs hold customer and sales data: you learn to share only metadata and anonymised samples with AI services, protect credentials and connected app secrets, implement GDPR requirements for data retention and clarify licensing questions around generated code in AppExchange packages.

Frequently asked questions

Is vibe coding only suitable for quick prototypes?

Vibe coding shines with prototypes, internal tools and experiments. With the right practices, namely clear specifications, tests, reviews and sound version control, results can also be turned into production-ready applications. The course teaches you to manage that transition deliberately and to recognise early on when rebuilding is the wiser option.

Which tools are used in the course?

The course is vendor-neutral. We work with the main tool categories: AI editors such as Cursor or Windsurf, coding agents such as Claude Code or Codex, and browser-based app builders. You are welcome to use your preferred tool, as the principles of specification, iteration, quality and security apply to all of them.

How should I deal with security risks in generated code?

Generated code often contains typical weaknesses such as hard-coded credentials, missing input validation or overly open interfaces. You learn to check specifically for these patterns, build security requirements into the specification from the start, use automated scanning and require a deliberate human sign-off before every deployment.

How well do general-purpose AI assistants know Apex and Salesforce specifics?

Current models handle Apex syntax and common patterns well. Weaknesses show up around governor limits, bulkification and org-specific objects. With rule files covering your trigger framework, naming conventions and security standards, plus retrieved metadata as context, results become far more reliable. In the course you build exactly this context for your org.

Should an AI agent deploy straight into our Salesforce org?

We recommend letting agents work in scratch orgs or sandboxes and promoting changes to higher environments through version control and your deployment pipeline. That preserves reviews, test runs and approvals. Production orgs should be reachable by agents read-only at most, using a restricted user. You practise this way of working hands-on in the course.

How much does “Vibe Coding for Salesforce Developers” cost?

The course costs a flat €949 plus VAT per participant – whether online or on-site. This includes 2 training day(s) with a live trainer, course materials, a lab environment and a certificate of attendance.

Can I suggest my own date?

Yes. Our suggested dates are just a guide. In the request form you can always describe your preferred date or period in free text – we check availability and confirm within one working day.

Is the course online or on-site?

Both are possible: live online in a virtual classroom or on-site in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart or Kaiserslautern. We can also run the course exclusively for your team.
