2) Navigating Lightning Web Components and Communities
Melissa Hansen & Bhanudas Tanaka
If you're just starting with Lightning Web Components or a pro, implementing LWC on Communities can be a challenging effort. We will share key tips/tricks and pitfalls encountered from our experience in developing a Communities hosted app used by thousands of public school teachers. From things you should consider before taking on such an effort, to hands on technical techniques in implementing LWC with Communities, we will share our lessons learned to streamline your efforts on adopting Salesforce's newest and greatest front-end development platform.

3) Building Blocks of Code for Admins
Kieren Jameson & Angelica Morriesette
Sometimes the biggest blocker to understanding code or starting to write Apex is not understanding the basic building blocks of programming. The next challenge is how they fit together to automate business processes. In this session, we'll use plain English to decode coding concepts, we'll walk through how to read code in your org, you'll learn how these building blocks fit together, and how to recognize several coding best practices for the Salesforce platform.

This interactive workshop will give you a great overview into the day in the life of an architect. Join us to get an understanding of the skills you already possess which will enable you to move into an architect career/direction, and those you might need to build. We will discuss possible barriers and how to overcome them (including how to work through imposter syndrome). And of course we will give you the resources we recommend to help you cross over the transition hump, including the various support systems available. You will hear from women whom have successfully made the transition to an architect career and how you can do it too!

Hi everyone! I just found about RAD. When is the next time an info session will be held? I desperately want to get involved!!
Don’t miss our #RAD leaders @Kieren Jameson, @Angela Mahoney, and @Melissa Hansen and other rad leaders like @Ladies Be Architects @Susannah Plaisted at tomorrow’s #PDX @PDXSFDUG Community Show and Tell with Portland WIT!... RSVP today bit.ly/2INKW7F
I'm so proud to know and run the @WIT Group, Phoenix, US with @Misty Jones! She is an amazing #RockStar Check out her post on the Salesforce Blog.
The Only Thing Standing in the Way of Success Was ME! How I Overcame My Certification Complacency.
Big news all :) I am so happy to announce that I have been hired to join the #Trailhead team to work with @Chris Duarte , @Sandeep Bhanot, and the rest of the gang on making Trailhead even more amazing. If you haven't checked it out yet (um...have you been living under a rock?) you absolutely should http://trailhead.salesforce.com.
I will be sad to leave the Non-Profit that I've worked at for 17 years #MicDrop , but I couldn't think of a better company to move to. I completely believe in the Salesforce platform and love the passion that the people in this team bring to user education.
Have no fear though, I will still be writing my blog, helping admins learn to code at womencodeheroes.com, and working with the rest of the RAD Women leaders to teach women learn to program on the force.com platform.
Onward and upward!
