I love building stuff. I hate marketing.
I might as well put those two things together.

What did I miss out on last week with Dreamforce 2025? I wasn't able to make it, but for those who went, what were your impressions and takeaways?

I know Agentforce, Vibes, and all things AI were hard to escape and I’m interested… what’s the takeaway? Any key findings?

"I got way more out of this program than I expected to get out of it.
We started building community...
We started working with Senior Developers...
We started having weekly meetings and homework..."

Thank you Riley for this feedback!

Enrollment is open now -October Cohort 🎉

5 things I wish I knew before becoming a Salesforce Developer:

1️⃣ Start coding early.
2️⃣ Git & GitHub will be your best friends.
3️⃣ Debugging teaches you more than easy success does.
4️⃣ Certs open doors, experience builds a career.
5️⃣ Consistency & work ethic beat raw talent.

Do you know the basics of Salesforce Flows? Then you’re likely ready to learn to code!

- Most Flows can be built using Apex and LWC
- The logic you are using to build Flows translates directly into Apex
- Your knowledge of Flows gives you a huge head start in learning Salesforce Development

#CodeEveryDay #SalesforceDevs

Spent 4 hours debugging a trigger, only to find a missing exclamation point. 🤦‍♂️ That frustration led to growth. Learning something new isn't easy; the struggle builds mental strength and resilience. Embrace the grind
#CodeEveryDay

Want to become a Salesforce developer? Here’s One Piece of advice I wish I’d known:
Certs are great, I have 17 but they’re not enough.

You need hands-on experience!

Focus on fundamentals first like Variables, Flow Control, Loops, Collections, Classes, Objects and Functions.

Ready to be a Salesforce Dev?

It’s okay if you feel overwhelmed while learning to code.

There’s a lot going on Apex, SOQL, triggers, etc...

But you don't have to learn it all overnight.
Only a small percentage pick up coding immediately.
Take baby steps.

Everyone has to start somewhere.

What part of the #Salesofrce security review process makes you want to pull your hair out?
ISV or just got an AppExchange idea... what's holding you back?

My biggest fear about learning to code is...
- I'm not smart enough
- There's too much to learn.
- I'm afraid that I'll fail.
- I'm too old to start learning.

I hear many different fears about learning to code. Which one is holding you back?
