Salesforce coding lessons for the 99%
David’s note: SFDC99’s first success story from India! Sunil, your story is one of my favorites because you did it through hard work and perseverance. You are a true champion!
Here goes my Story. I am not that good in English so you may find many grammatical mistakes. Forgive me for that.
I am from India. I completed my graduation in 2011 in CSE background. I did not got through any of the campus interviews conducted in my college. After 6 Months of struggle I landed into a job as a fresher. So being a fresher I did not have any chance to choose the technology for my career. So I landed into networks team. It went well initially but during the time I fed up with work and my job as it became routine work nothing much interesting.
So I was looking for a change in technology. One of my friend Suggested me SFDC has bright future and I can go for it. My main goal is to become developer and write codes in any one of technologies. So I followed my friend’s suggestion.
So I choose one institute where I can learn SFDC by paying money. I used to get up early and travel to coaching center listen for 2 hours and then travel back to office directly from there. It’s my routine for next 3 months. I never skipped a class irrespective of what the situation may be. And my friend used to guide me daily on the topics covered at coaching center.
First 2 months only Admin part was covered completely and I have learnt almost each and every topic of it. But here is the twist when the development part started. Since I have knowledge on coding part it was like I did not grasped anything in next 1 month even though I go regularly to coaching center.
So this is when my Friend suggested me about your site from where I started learning the triggers and writing queries. After going through all the chapters from your site I was bit a confident and also attended the interview recently. And biggest part of it is I cleared it.
Thanks for posting inspirational stories and motivating your readers to take up challenges and solve them.
Sunil, I’m honored to have been able to help a champion like you! You are an inspiration to ME!
Enjoy the SFDC99 t-shirt that I’ll be mailing all the way to India (even though you didn’t ask for it)!

What could be my learning curve.
Looking forward to guidance and correct my understanding / aspiration.
Thanks in anticipation. svkartik@aim.com

Hi Sunil,
I have read your life struggle, however right now I am in a bad situation. Just like you I have learnt salesforce admin but as i am not from a technical background I haven’t learnt developer portion. I do want to evolve as a developer later but now I need a job as an administrator and in the market there are absolutely no openings for entry level admins. I am from Calcutta and there are no jobs for admin in my city so i am ready to relocate. But now looking at the current situation I am not sure about my future, if you have any suggestions or if you can help in anyway please that will be really good. I have my exam on 13th for ADM 201 and I am facing a hard time to concentrate.
rahul can you share your email?
Hello, I would like to learn and work in Salesforce domain, but where do I get started? I cannot spend much, so I have gone through a few tutorials, but things are not very clear.
Presently I am working as a Software Developer and I have prior experience of ERP Functional and Technical Support.
I would like to switch over to Salesforce, but I am still sceptical about it, whether I should proceed or not, as I barely find any job openings for Fresher in SFDC.
Kindly help me get through this situation.

Congrats Sunil… Thanks to our sweet buddy David..
I haven’t been very lucky yet. Cleared DEV401 and DEV501 MCQ about a month ago and I am yet to land a job. NYC. The three calls I received did not materialize because of sponsorship issues. Oh well…
Don’t worry Mike.. May be a very best is waiting for you than them.. Keep trying.. If you can please share any of your experience in preparing for certifications.
Sponsorship does make it more difficult however I’ve certainly seen people become sponsored as Salesforce developers!
You just need to be a bit more patient, and definitely pass your DEV 501 test ASAP!
God bless you Sunil! Well done :)
