Hi All, 

 

I’m currently preparing for the Platform Developer I certification. I’m relatively new to the Salesforce ecosystem with limited coding experience, and I have cleared the

Salesforce Administrator and Platform App Builder certifications.

I’m using Trailhead and Focus on Force for PD1 preparation, but I can see that FoF covers the UI section in much more depth.

I would really appreciate it if anyone who has appeared for the PD1 exam recently could guide me on how much I need to cover for LWC, Visualforce, Aura, their testing, and other UI-related topics for the exam.

I’m trying to understand the right depth needed for PD1 without going too deep into every topic.

Thanks in Advance!
