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.

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.
