Introducing the Lightning Component Framework

Salesforce Lightning Overview

We’re in an increasingly multi-device world, so Salesforce created Lightning to make it easy to build responsive applications for any screen. Lightning includes a number of exciting tools for developers, such as:

1. Lightning components give you a client-server framework that accelerates development, as well as app performance, and is ideal for use with the Salesforce1 mobile app and Salesforce Lightning Experience.

2. The Lightning App Builder empowers you to build apps visually, without code, quicker than ever before using off-the-shelf and custom-built Lightning components

Using these technologies, you can seamlessly customize and easily deploy new apps to mobile devices running Salesforce1. In fact, the Salesforce1 mobile app and Salesforce Lightning Experience are built with Lightning components.

This guide will provide you with an in-depth resource to help you create your own stand-alone Lightning apps, as well as custom Lightning components that can be used in the Salesforce1 mobile app.
