5.0 out of 5 stars Tons of great references for those who want to advance from clicks to code

I am a certified admin and, full disclosure, am a Salesforce employee. I came across Mohith's book and it is just what I needed to discover new references to build custom lightning components. I mostly use clicks to create basic applications on Salesforce, but as I find myself needing to create more and more custom capabilities, this book is definitely a great supplement for both Trailhead and Salesforce Developer Documentation.

I love Mohith's teaching style. He cuts thru the marketing clutter, and explains concepts from a developer's viewpoint. The book provides solid foundation for end to end Lightning Component development and packed with many not so explored Lightning topics like - External JS library integrations and WebPack, Lightning Out, Console API, AppExchange publishing etc.

I highly recommend this book to every Salesforce Developer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed so far...
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2019
Verified Purchase
I was excited to find this book and order it. The reviews seemed positive but...

Chapter 1 does not encourage me. It is quite wordy in that the words "Lightning" and "Experience" are endlessly repeated. Let's just stipulate that the book is about Lightning and nothing else. OK?

But my real problems are just starting. The print density on sections of code and screenshots is so light as to be almost unreasonable without a very bright supplemental light. This seems to be trendy but it's not useful, especially with technical material. Moreover, the bulk of the content is really in the code and screenshots.

This is a big, heavy, expensive book. I expect better print and editing quality. I may return it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for your Salesforce Developer reference collection
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2018
If you're a Salesforce Developer who needs to build custom Lightning solutions, this book should be one of your go-to's to get a better base understanding of the Lightning architecture. Lightning is complex (imo), but within this book, Mohith Shrivastava breaks down the framework in a consumable way and covers most of the concepts available to you as a Developer such as the building blocks to form a Lightning bundle, as well as capabilities such as Lightning Flows, Lightning Data Service, Locker Service, and Lightning Out. Additional development concepts are also covered such as Debugging, Performance Tuning, Unit Testing as well as utilizing the SalesforceDX CLI (Command Line Interface) while providing code examples from Github. Highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Title is very misleading, great book for aura
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2021
Verified Purchase
This book does go into good detail, about aura components. The title is very misleading, when you talk about lightning in salesforce typically you were talking about LDS. Lightning Design System OR Lightning web components commonly known as LWC. Only reason I gave two stars, is because the book does go into good detail about or a components, how they function, and best practices. The biggest issue, is that developing in the salesforce world today, is much more advanced than what this book provides. Most companies will request that you develop using lightning web components, not aura components.

Mohith does a great job covering the bases in this book, providing useful, applicable tips for those new to Lightning development or those looking to go deeper. I especially appreciated the chapter focused on communities; which provides guidance on extending Lightning Communities with code.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good supplement to Lightning Trailheads
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 14, 2018
Verified Purchase
I got this book week after its publish date in July. Having done many of the Salesforce Lightning Trailhead badges, I was curious about the book. Looking at the content, it has comprehensive coverage of topics related to Lightning and also an overview of Salesforce DX, which I did not know about. Having gone through the first 2 chapters, the setup is pretty straightforward, although I did find typo errors regarding in the "sfdx force:Lightning" commands. The commands are case sensitive, so "Lightning" should start with lowercase "l". Overall the book covers good content, with lots of code snippets (which are downloadable from the publisher's website). I think it is worth having on the shelf as a reference, once you get more familiar with Lightning.
