Wrap Up Your Exploration of Lightning Components in the Force.com IDE

You’ve now learned how to create a Lightning component that renders a list of contacts from your org. You created an Apex controller class, and then added a Lightning component and an event handler. You rendered the list of contacts in the component, both with and without pizazz. What’s next?

Lightning components aren’t just for building web pages. Use them to build responsive apps for phones, tablets, and even watches to help your team move Lightning fast.

You can build components from scratch, but often it’s not necessary. Lots of other developers have made components that they’ve built available in the Components section of the AppExchange, and many of them are free. Why reinvent the wheel when plenty of wheels are already in circulation?

For a tour of Lightning components in the Force.com IDE, watch Platform Developer Tools engineer Nick Chen’s presentation at TrailheaDX ’16.
