Lightning Experience Simplified

In the earlier days, Salesforce only has a single user experience which we referred to as Classic view.

Fast forward a few years and Salesforce got a new user experience which we called Lightning Experience.

Below is what the Classic view looks like:

The lightning experience looks like below:

Lightning Experience was rolled out as a new user interface for the users.

As we are working in a multi-device ecosystem, so Salesforce created Lightning Experience to make it convenient to build responsive applications for any device.

Lighting Experience gives developers a number of amazing tools such as:

• Lighting App Builder to create custom lightning pages.
  
• Lightning components to create self-contained and reusable units of an app.

Switch to Lightning Experience From Classic:

You can switch to Lighting Experience from Classic by clicking on the Switch To Lightning Experience present at the top.

Lightning Component Framework:

The Lightning Component framework is a UI framework for developing single-page applications for mobile and desktop devices.

As of Spring ’19 (API version 45.0), you can build Lightning components using two programming models: the Lightning Web Components model, and the original Aura Components model.

Lightning web components are custom HTML elements built using HTML and modern JavaScript. Lightning web components and Aura components can coexist and interoperate on a page.

Configure Lightning web components and Aura components to work in Lightning App Builder and Experience Builder.

Admins and end-users don’t know which programming model was used to develop the components. To them, they’re simply Lightning components.

Let’s take another step and learn about the Aura Component Architecture in the next part of this Aura Component series.
