How to call PageReference Method on page load

Using "action" attribute of Apex:page tag, we can call a page reference method that will return the new page reference or redirect to the new page.

Example:
<apex:page controller="TestController" action="{!checkAndRedirect}"...></apex:page>
Controller:
Public Class TestController{  
    public PageReference checkAndRedirect()
    {    
        // do checks    
        //return new pagereference('/apex/testVisualForcePageName'); //return a new PageReference    
        //       or    
        //return null to go back to the current page  
    }
}

Note: We cannot return page reference from the constructor.

Salesforce tabStyle attribute in apex

When you use a custom controller, the tabStyle attribute of an <apex:page> tag allows you to mimic the look and feel of the associated Salesforce page. If you only want portions of the page to be similar to a Salesforce page, you can use the tabStyle attribute on the <apex:pageBlock> tag

tabStyle in <apex:page> tag:
<apex:page standardController="Account" showHeader="true" tabStyle="account" >
For a custom tab we have to add "__tab" after the tab name.
Example: <apex:page standardController="Account" showHeader="true" tabStyle="CustomTab_Name__tab" >

Limitation: Salesforce does not support assigning tabStyle dynamically like below.
<apex:page standardController="Account" showHeader="true" tabStyle="{!vartabStyle}" >

Arithmetic operators not allowed in SOQL queries

Salesforce SOQL queries does not directly support arithmetic operations like below:

SELECT (FieldA+FieldB) FROM Account
SELECT (FieldA+FieldB)*100 FROM Account

We have to use formula fields to achieve this type of requirements.

Simply create a formula field and use it direclty in the query like below:

SELECT FormulaFieldA FROM Account
