Quick summary
The Salesforce Developer Console is a built-in IDE that lets developers write, debug, and execute Apex code, create Visualforce pages, and build Lightning components directly within Salesforce. Accessing it takes just a few clicks from the Gear icon in the top navigation bar.
Steps
- Click the Gear icon in the top-right corner of Salesforce and select Developer Console from the dropdown menu.
- Wait for the Developer Console pop-up window to open — this is your integrated development environment inside Salesforce.
- Go to File > New and choose the type of resource you want to create, such as a Visualforce Page, Component, Lightning Application, or Event.
