Hello everyone, 

 

I am new to the Salesforce ecosystem and recently got my admin certification. Could you please guide on how to start if I want to continue in the developer route? I want to be proficient with my apex coding skills. Anything that you think would be helpful please share with me.  

 

Thank you so much!

    Hello @Aliou Aboubakar

     Congrats on your admin certification .Starting  as a Salesforce developer with a focus on Apex coding is great move. 

    1.Learn Apex Basics-Dive into the Apex Developer Guide on Salesforces site.start with simple triggers and classes try creating a basic trigger to update a field on an object. 

    2. TrailheadTrails- Check out the "Build Apex Triggers" and "Apex Basics & Database" modules on Trailhead. They have hands-on on demand for beginners. Move to "Apex Testing" next testing is key in Salesforce. 

    3. Set Up Dev Environment Use a developer Edition of org or VS Code with the Salesforce Extension Pack to write and deploy Apex. 

    4. Practice- Build small apps like a custom button with Apex or a batch job. Look at Salesforce GitHub samples. 

    5 . Community- join the Trailblazer Community, Stack Exchange, or watch the "Salesforce official channel" on YouTube. 

    6. Certification Goal-Aim for Platform Developer 1 certification next 6 months.
