4 Lessons Learned—So for the Next Panic, You Don’t
Read Time: 3 Minutes
Learning Salesforce seems complicated, but it doesn't have to be.
In my initial days, I was unable to find clear and detailed explanations of complex topics.
Learning Salesforce was a struggle until I found these 4 blogs:
These four blogs not only cover the basics of Salesforce, but they also provide out-of-the-box solutions that will turn your old, boring, and dusty org into a Space-X rocket ship.
I swear I'm not exaggerating.
Here are 4 blogs that helped me hack my learning potential:
Blog #1: UnofficialSF
There are times when you can't find a solution
You hope it exists in Salesforce...
But after hours of Googling... you don't find it.
In almost every single one of those situations, I ended up finding the solution on UnofficialSF.
Not a unique story.
If you work in the Salesforce industry...
You know about UnofficialSF and almost everyone has a story like this where they have saved our bacon.
First on my list for a reason.
Here's a link to the blog:

Blog #2: Force Panda
Narender is an OG.
Here's why:
• 3x Salesforce MVP
• Massive contributor
• Has lead as top community answers
On top of that, when I first got into the industry I reached out on a couple of occasions to Narender and he personally helped me out.
But even outside of all that...
He writes an awesome blog and provides some fantastic out-of-the-box solutions to help with your Salesforce needs.

Blog #3: Automation Champion
The Salesforce library.
Chances are slim for me when I need to google a solution and I don't see the Automation Champ popup as one of the results.
Years of content.
Just like the others mentioned today, Rakesh Gupta is another awesome Salesforce MVP.
He has put a ton into the community - a lot at no cost.
Personally, I tend to find a lot of best practices on his site for flows.
Like "Flow Naming Conventions".
This has become my most visited bookmark this year and has dramatically improved how I organize my flows.

Blog #4: Salesforce Flowsome
Make learning flows easier.
Why would you want to learn things the hard way when there are ppl like Melody Lwo creating resources like this one?
Here you get:
• Flow "how to's"
• Flow use cases
• Option to write in for personal help
All done by someone who is 10X certified & breathes better automation making it a great resource to trust & learn from
With flows being one of the hottest items to learn nowadays - this one should be a no-brainer.
