It’s really very helpfull when I started Salesforce, I attend your session of “How to get job in google”, is very interesting and its really inspiring that how you applied for google 10 times in row and 11th time, you succeed.

Really Its great lesson for us.

Hearty welcome to India David,its a true honour.The kind of love and passion you have towards Salesforce is impeccable!!! That can be obviously be seen in your blog by following 1-1-1 model of salesforce(your 1% time+1%knowledge+1% charity).Sharing knowledge is the biggest donation one can ever make and thanks a billion for that :)

I am currently working at Gainsight and my husband landed up on his dream job and currently working in Salesforce Hyderabad :). But, I must admit this was by following your blog and watching your Pluralsight videos(watching Dan AppleMan’s as well). Though we are happy with where we are today, our die hard ambition is to become a full fledged salesforce developers. Though we are not form coding background, we can code basic stuff and build few apps on SFDC. But my gut feeling is that top Tech companies will expect some cool stuff to be presented during interviews.So…

Topic: We would love to here from you, how to crack interview as a salesforce developer without having any coding background.That catch points or the funda of becoming a pro in salesforce development that really lands a job in top Tech companies. Your experiences, the exact point to start off with, web applications or Rest APIs or Lighting or Einstien where do we have to concentrate on considering the pace at which salesforce is progressing.We are lost in this ocean and any light would really help in succeeding.

Really looking forward for this topic which helps in accomplishing our dream.Once again hearty welcome.

I am an avid reader of your blog. Thank you so much for such a wonderful helpful website.

I would like you to throw more light on mobile development and the challenges faced when compared hybrid, native and web apps. As in present era every customer wants to switch over mobile apps for ease and feasibility and its time need to develop mobile apps in short span of time. So it would be really helpful if you could throw some light on SF mobile development.
