Salesforce Lightning experience is a modern, fast, and intelligent user interface built with proven Salesforce1 Mobile App technology. It combines Lightning Designing System (LDS), Lightning app builder and Lightning Components to create modern enterprise applications. Salesforce Lightning experience is a new generation productive user interface designed for Sales team and Support teams in Salesforce.com. Salesforce1 have been introduced for mobile application and two user interface for desktop version Salesforce classic and lightning Salesforce has been introduced by Salesforce.com.
Lightning Experience (or LEX for short) brings with it an entirely new client side architecture, which departs from the server-side rendering for its predecessor (Salesforce Classic) and Visualforce provided. For backwards compatibility, Visualforce UIs can still be used within Lightning Experience, although, using Visualforce in LEX will not offer the level of extensibility or visual appeal as custom UIs built using the Lightning framework.
For the first time, Salesforce developers can now use the same technology and theme Salesforce have used to build their LEX based applications, known as the Lightning Framework. Salesforce has also chosen to open source their styling framework used by Lightning, which is known as the Lightning Design System (LDS)
