Coding isn't programming
Imagine that you want to write a book in German.
But you don’t speak German!
You would:
→ Learn alphabet
→ Learn grammar
→ Learn how to write simple sentences
Only then would you:
→ Start putting sentences together into a story (= book)
Not everyone who speaks German can write a book in German
The same goes for Salesforce Development
It’s two things:
Learn how to code
Learn how to program
The first part is about learning the fundamentals
→ Variables, classes, methods
→ Loops, Maps, Lists
Once you know how “speak” Apex, you can start applying your coding skills on solving business problems.
That’s programming.
→ Coding = being able to write code
→ Programming = solving business problems with coding
If you try to jump to programming (triggers for example) - you will fail
You will feel like you can write code if you have a similar example
But you can’t write code from scratch that you don’t have an example for
The solution is easy:
→ Learn coding
Then you’ll move faster because you have fundamentals
That’s why I developed Learn Apex
It’s a platform that teaches you very fundamental coding concepts
But that’s not all, we also have:
→ 80+ topics
→ 10+ hours of video material
→ 450+ tasks
→ Immediate coding check
→ Best practice recommendations
Reply “APEX” and I will send more details :)
