R1D37 Wrapping Up Pre Requisites for the Developer Beginner Trail
The Developer Beginner trail on Trailhead walks you through the basics of the Salesforce platform before diving into the real meat of the platform; Apex.
Apex is a programming language developed by Salesforce that allows you to do pretty much anything you want within the Salesforce platform. It is very similar to Java.

I have finally finished all of the sections that come before Apex and will spend the next few days learning the basics, learning about Triggers, and learning about Testing code in Apex.
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

I think we’re far enough into September that I won’t jinx myself by saying: summer here wasn’t bad. From what I hear, there’s other parts of Japan and Europe had a rough time this year. But my area was for some reason not too bad. It wasn’t without some mi...
