If we want to display the data on the VF page it should be displayed as formule expression

Syntax : {! Expression }

{! 10}

{! 10+20}
 {! 'sam'}

{! 'Sam'&'kiran'}

{! ISNULL(10)}

{! ! ISNULL(10)}

Ex: <apex:page >

{! 10} <br/>
{! 10+20}<br/>
{! 'sam'}<br/>
{! 'Sam'&'kiran'}<br/>
{! ISNULL(10)}<br/>

Global data : Data which remains same throughout the application once’s user has logged in is
called global data

Global data is prefixed with $

$User

$Profile

$UserRole

Synatax: { ! $GlobalObject.FieldName}

Ex: {!$User.LastName}

{!$User.Firstname}
<apex:page >
{!$User.FirstName}<br/>
{!$User.LastName}<br/>
{!$Organization.Name}<br/>
{!$Profile.Name}
</apex:page>

Q:How to pass the parameters using url

Synatx:https://ap2.salesforce.com/apex/pageName ?parameter=val

Ex: https://ap2.salesforce.com/apex/page1?Name=satish

If you want to pass more than one parameter in the url then parameters should be separated by
‘&’

Ex : https://ap2.salesforce.com/apex/page1?Name=satish & age=30

https://ap2.salesforce.com/apex/page1?name=satish&Age=30&qualificatiion=phd

If you want to read the data from the url then we have the following syntax

{! $Currentpage.parameters.paramtername}

<apex:page >
{!$Currentpage.parameters.name}<br/>
{!$Currentpage.parameters.age}
</apex:page>

Q: How to read the data from apex class into the VF page

If we want to refer the data from apex class into the VF page we have define the apex class as

Controller in apex:page component

Ex: <apex:page controller=”ApexclassName” >

public class Example1 {

public String name {set;get;}
public String branch{set;get;}
public Example1(){
name='Karthic';
branch='SRNagar';
}
}

VF page

<apex:page controller="Example1" >

Name :{!name}<br/>
Branch:{!branch}
</apex:page>

constructor and display the data in the VF page

public class Employee1 {

public String name {set;get;}
public Decimal Salary{set;get;}
public Decimal exp {set;get;}
public Employee1(){
