YogeshArora Using Standard Objects
Hello everyone
I am very new to this force platform and I am trying to learn it on my own. In this process I got to know about standard objects, i.e. they are pre-defined objects which we can use in our custom app. I read about the various fields defined for each object, various triggers, validation rules, etc, etc for each object.
But I dont understand how they are useful ? What exactly are leads, opportuniies, contacts ? When these can be used in an app ?
Any help or any link to study material will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Yogesh

Dear S Jain
Yes. I am going through these books side by side.
The problem I am facing is that the books I have reffered so far, shows the ways to manipulate these standard objects for our app but before that I am unable to understand the key definition of the objects. What exactly these objects are meant for ? How they are related to each other ? And how will they be useful when used ?
regards
