App Logic
Use Apex code, Formulas and/or Workflow and Approvals to add logic to your applications. Apex is a strongly-typed programming language used for controllers, database triggers, web services and more. Formulas are similar to equations that are executed at run time, used as object fields and as an expression language. Workflow and Approvals provide declarative actioning of tasks based on changes to data together with an approval engine.
