Let’s say you want to start your career as a Salesforce developer. Where do you begin?
If you don’t have a coding background already, this is a challenge.
Here are a few ways to begin:
- Watch instructional YouTube videos like Apex Hours
- Buy a well-rated coding course on learning platform like Udemy
- Find a mentor
If you already have coding knowledge, then it’s “just” a matter of learning the syntax and patterns of apex.
You could
- Follow the steps above
- Complete the developer Trailhead trails
- Buy Focus on Force practice exams
- Get your Salesforce dev certification
In either scenario, you can also ask AI to write code for you. The key is understanding what it’s suggesting. If you simply copy+paste what AI provides, you won’t actually learn anything.
The takeaway
While becoming a developer is more challenging these days, it’s definitely doable. Senior devs are still in demand and make good coin.
