Salesforce coding lessons for the 99%
David’s note: TWO people now have gotten 5 certifications in 6 weeks! Does lightning strike the same place twice, or is this something “regular” human beings can do? I guess we’ll find out! Adam, I’m proud of you and I have a feeling I’ll be hearing more achievements from you soon!
Hey David,
After starting working with Salesforce for the first time only very recently (this past August), I was inspired to really dig into the platform after attending your Q&A session at Dreamforce. SFDC99 has been a TREMENDOUS resource for me as I began studying at the beginning of the year and after following your recommendations, utilizing the Salesforce Help and Training, and also getting some inspiration from Mayank, I was able to get my first 5 certifications in just 6 weeks!
Thanks to your guidance, I am very proud to say I am a Salesforce Certified Admin (201), Force.com Developer (401), Advanced Admin, Sales Cloud Consultant, and Service Cloud Consultant. I’m still in the early stages of my career but have some experience working with Java and am looking forward to start digging into Apex and hope to become a Certified Advanced Developer in the not so distant future!
I’ll make sure to check back often for more posts and am hoping to start getting more involved in the vibrant Salesforce community as well. If you have any additional advice, I’d definitely appreciate it. Thanks again for all your help!
Sincerely,
Adam Olshansky

I can study for these certifications hard but they are so expensive, I can’t afford them now, currently not working due to personal issues but I wanna get in the game by honing my skills. I was excited to learn about salesforce and its importance but certifications are so expensive.

Great job Adam! Do you think you can post links to other resources that you had used? It could benefit everyone.
Thanks!
Thanks Pavi! The main resources that I used were David’s certification page (including the Udacity course that’s linked, the flashcards, and the study guides) and the Salesforce Help and Training videos. If you don’t have access to all of those, I would suggest Trailhead as well. I haven’t used it too much so far, but it’s also a great resource for learning about the platform, especially for Admin, Force.com Dev, and Advanced Admin
Rockstar!!!

For all of you getting all these certifications, has it helped you get new jobs or upgraded your pay?
I haven’t been looking around too much yet but if you haven’t already done so, the Careers in the Cloud webinar talked about this: https://www.sfdc99.com/how-to-get-a-salesforce-developer-job/
