Salesforce coding lessons for the 99%
Dear David,
I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of Apex Academy #4 through infinity.
I’m sure you’ve been told this before, but it bears repeating: the Apex Academy is an absolute masterpiece.
Einstein roughly said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.” On this alone, the Apex Academy would make Einstein proud. The streamlined teaching and replay value are amazing… but when you realize how quickly the knowledge converts into a large salary, you’ve arrived at the heart of a lot about what’s awesome in the Academy.
Basically, we love you soooooo much so please make Apex Academy #4 because we are literally starving to death (lol) for lack of more Apex Academy. So much misery and suffering, and no good very bad days, because of our limited access to the genius of the Academy. You could fairly state WITHOUT SARCASM that all the pain in the whole wide world is because there isn’t a #4 yet and we just need our hero to give us the tools to save ourselves from the oppressive nature of the universe.
Please, we love you and you’re awesome, please… help us… before we starve… to death…. gargheblelhehhhhh
Sincerely,
Apex Cadet

Dear Apex Cadet,
Thank you for the wonderful note, ha ha ha.
That was easily among the funniest, most well-written comments I have ever received. It is going straight to the hall of fame! It really takes a certain genius to write something like that!
Apex Academy #4 is in progress, but it’s temporarily on pause as I pursue my #2 life’s goal of earning the Technical Architect certification!
You can blame Destination Success for that. I decided after that event that now is the time for me to go for the TA cert. Hence the focus on certifications as of late!
I’ve scheduled the final piece of my Technical Architect certification, the review board, in June. I will likely fail, but I have to try. Wish me luck!
After June, pass or succeed, it’s time for…
After that, my new life’s goal will probably be to give back and teach more =) There are so many things I want to teach in Salesforce, including Apex, architecture, administration, certifications, careers, and more! I’ll have to see what people want to learn most when that time comes!
Long story short, don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere! Helping others in Salesforce is my life’s destiny. I consider it the second most important thing I will ever do in my life aside from spending time with my family. I sincerely believe this, and all my major decisions revolve around this.
So rest assured, I’ll be pumping out a bunch of stuff for you! Just gotta pass my TA cert now!
David
