Salesforce JavaScript Developer I Practice Exam

Salesforce JavaScript Developer I Practice Exam

The Salesforce Certified JavaScript Developer I Credential is designed for individuals with proficiency, expertise, and practical experience in developing front-end and/or back-end JavaScript applications for web stacks. These skills are versatile across frameworks and are not restricted to mobile or device-specific platforms.

This certification validates the foundational JavaScript skills as well as the hands-on development abilities of candidates required to work with JavaScript-related technologies such as the Lightning Component framework, particularly Lightning Web Components (LWC). Lightning web components are customized HTML elements constructed using standard HTML and contemporary JavaScript.

The certification process comprises two components: the JavaScript Developer I proctored multiple-choice exam and the Lightning Web Components Specialist Superbadge. These components can be completed in any order. The multiple-choice exam assesses knowledge exclusively in JavaScript, while the superbadge evaluates practical Lightning Web Component development skills. By successfully completing both components, individuals automatically qualify for the Salesforce Certified JavaScript Developer I credential.

Who should take the exam?

The candidate aiming for the Salesforce Certified JavaScript Developer I certification utilizes the JavaScript language within one or more frameworks to create front-end and/or back-end applications. They possess the ability to conceptualize, develop, and assess solutions that are both efficient and sustainable, ensuring they are reusable.

Additionally, the candidate is proficient in applying JavaScript-specific design patterns for programming and can integrate JavaScript with CSS, HTML, and other markup languages seamlessly.

With Lightning Web Components (LWC), any JavaScript developer can effortlessly extend their skills to Salesforce. This means that millions of JavaScript developers worldwide can seamlessly transition to coding on the Salesforce platform without the need for additional learning. Leveraging the existing array of developer services within the Lightning Platform and the contemporary JavaScript language, developers can construct and deploy lightning-fast applications on Salesforce.
