As we say goodbye to 2012 and look forward to 2013, no doubt you’re thinking about the goals and new skills you want to tackle in the New Year. We have a few suggestions for you over on our Facebook page, and we’re giving away t-shirts to kick off the New Year! Check out our suggestions for the top 5 resolutions for elevating your cloud developer career:
Resolution #1 – Build Your First Force.com App
Haven’t built an app yet? Dive in with the Force.com Workbook and get started! Once you’ve got that under your belt, no doubt you’ll want to learn more…
Resolution #2 – Watch a Force.com Webinar
There is so much FREE training out there for you to take advantage of, starting with recordings of all our past webinars, right at your fingertips! Get started with Force.com Canvas, Salesforce Identity, or brush up on Apex coding – all on demand. Still have questions?…
Resolution #3 – Participate on the Force.com Discussion Boards
The Salesforce Developer Community is AWESOME and the Force.com Discussion Boards are the place to go if you’ve got questions about any of our development tools. Start a new topic or join in on an existing discussion – maybe you have the answer another developer has been looking for! The Discussion Boards are one of the many ways you can connect with the Force.com community…
Resolution #4 – Join or Start a Developer User Group
If you haven’t joined your local Salesforce Developer User Group yet, you are missing out on the best way to connect with your fellow developers and brainstorm development topics. There’s no substitute for meeting face-to-face! Developer User Groups offer you a great way to expand your skills and build your network. Find the group nearest you, and if there’s not one nearby, let me know if you’d like to start one!
Resolution #5 – Get Developer Certified
This is the big one, and we have an amazing opportunity for you! Salesforce Developer Certification sets you apart as someone who is serious about their development career and committed to continually building skills. We want you to get certified in 2013, and for 25 of you we’re going to give you the exam for FREE!
