Review: The Salesforce Career Playbook by Martin Gessner
During 2019, I was interviewed for a book that recently came out called The Salesforce Career Playbook by Martin Gessner. You may otherwise know Martin as the man behind FocusOnForce. His book is a deep dive into the different career paths that Salesforce offers, alongside case studies and insights from people worldwide in different Salesforce careers.
Profile and Permission Set Helper (Update)
*** You will need Lightning enabled and My Domain enabled for this app to work*** In 2018 I wrote a post about a tool put out by Salesforce Labs that was designed to help you convert your Profiles to Permissions sets.

Review: TrailheaDX 2019
TrailheaDX took place primarily over the course of two days and boy was it a whirlwind.

Despite all … Continue reading Review: TrailheaDX 2019

I have previously written a review about the FocusonForce practice exams and I wanted to bring an updated review based on the Platform Developer 1 practices.

Review: Metaforce
One of the search functionalities that are missing from Salesforce is the ability to search anything APEX-related by the name of the class, page, or trigger. As someone who always looks for more quick and simple free tools to use in conjunction with Salesforce, I stumbled upon Metaforce. Metaforce is a multi-faceted tool that has … Continue reading Review: Metaforce

Not too long ago I came across a tool called Provar on SalesforceBen's site. Provar is an automation testing system designed just for Salesforce. It is built on top of Selenium and it is completely point-and-click for setting up the tests, which is a great feature for teams who do not have anyone with QA development … Continue reading Review: Provar
Review: Apex Academy Part 2
I am finally back with part 2 of my review of David Liu's Apex Academy. I had to take some time off before completing it due to other Salesforce items becoming a higher priority on my to-do list (see What I learned merging 2 Instances if you would like to know more).
