The third day of Dreamforce 2018 brought us the Developer Keynote and a very special surprise! Of course, there were lots of sessions presented by our community and other keynotes and events in the Trailhead Zone and around the Dreamforce campus. We’ve got all the highlights right here for you.
Salesforce MVP Gaurav Kheterpal delivered a session on Storefront Reference Architecture (SFRA) in Commerce Cloud, talking about how to leverage it for mobile-first sites.

We are all using Trailhead to learn, and it is constantly evolving. Sarah Franklin, the EVP of Developer Relations and GM of Trailhead, along with Chris Duarte, Kris Lande, Leah McGowen-Hare and a few Trailblazers, spoke about best practices to drive Salesforce adoption and scale onboarding with your own branded and customized content with myTrailhead.
“@TheChrisDuarte: The real magic of @trailhead is that it is hands-on”
💯 agreed. And for me that is also what makes it so fun! #DF18 pic.twitter.com/YdnXzmG1Z2
