Explore how AI-powered development tools are transforming the Salesforce ecosystem. Learn to build Apex classes, flows, triggers, and Lightning Web Components using Cursor IDE. Integrate Agentforce and MCP workflows to streamline development and automate Salesforce tasks.

Modern Salesforce development is evolving with the adoption of AI-powered development tools. This course provides a practical approach to building Salesforce solutions using Cursor IDE and Agentforce. You will learn how AI-assisted development can automate repetitive tasks, accelerate coding, and improve efficiency across the Salesforce development lifecycle. The journey begins with an introduction to Cursor IDE and its benefits for Salesforce developers and administrators. You will set up a development environment by installing essential tools such as Git, Java, Node.js, and Visual Studio Code extensions. The course then introduces the Model Context Protocol (MCP), explaining how AI integrates with development workflows and how developers can leverage TypeScript commands, configuration files, and contextual AI assistance to simplify development. You will also work through hands-on projects that demonstrate how AI can assist in Salesforce implementations. These include creating custom fields, validation rules, record-triggered flows, Apex classes, triggers, test classes, and Lightning Web Components. Advanced topics such as Cursor rules, token usage, GitHub MCP server configuration, and Agentforce capabilities are also covered, helping you build scalable Salesforce applications with AI assistance. This course is designed for Salesforce developers and administrators who want to integrate AI-assisted tools into their workflow. It is also suitable for Salesforce consultants, technical architects, and professionals interested in modern AI-driven development. Basic familiarity with Salesforce concepts, Apex, and the Salesforce platform will be helpful, though motivated beginners eager to explore AI-powered Salesforce development will also benefit from the practical demonstrations and real-world examples covered throughout the course. This course blends clear concepts with hands-on demonstrations to help you learn effectively. You will set up a real Salesforce development environment and build components step by step using modern tools. Each module focuses on applying AI-assisted techniques with Cursor and Agentforce to streamline development and improve productivity in real-world Salesforce projects.
