Getting started with Salesforce Data Cloud (now Data 360)? Here’s the path I recommend. 

I keep getting asked how to break into Data Cloud. Here’s what I’d do if I were starting today: 

1. Learn the basics on Trailhead: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/search?keywords=data%20cloud
2. Get hands-on with a free Developer Edition org. It now includes Data Cloud: https://developer.salesforce.com/signup
3. Attend a Data Cloud workshop to build an end to end project: https://developer.salesforce.com/workshops/data-cloud-workshop
4. Get certified as a Data Cloud Consultant: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/credentials/datacloudconsultant

Data Cloud is still one of the most underinvested skills in the Salesforce ecosystem, and it’s the data foundation Agentforce runs on. Now is a good time to get in.
