"Apex Code is a new on demand, multi-tenant programming language that extends the capabilities of the Apex platform by introducing the ability to write code that runs on salesforce.com servers. The language enables a new class of applications and features to be developed and deployed entirely on demand. These applications make existing Apex apps “smarter” by providing the ability to capture business logic and rules – such as data validation – and make entirely new kinds of apps possible on demand – such as complex inventory checking and order fulfillment. The Apex language uses a combination of Java-like syntax with Apex API functions and SOQL to let developers define triggers, packages and other representations of business logic that can interact with the Apex event model at a low level. Conceptually similar to a stored procedure system, Apex Code allows almost any kind of transactional, multi-object and complex logic to developed and run entirely on demand."
