Salesforce Developer

I passed the ‘Salesforce.com Certified Force.com Developer’ Certification on 02 Aug 2013. This certification is based on the Summer 2013 release. I’m sharing my experience here about what to prepare, how to prepare and how to take the exam along with a set of tutorials/guides that covers the exam material. I hope this will help people who has the desire to get the developer certification.

Developer Certification Basics

First of all, one need to understand the key point of taking Salesforce Developer track certification. As you might know, there are two certifications available for the development track.

• The Salesforce.com Certified Force.com Developer
• The Salesforce.com Certified Force.com Advanced Developer

For the sake of clarity, I’ll just repeat the official description here: The ‘Salesforce.com Certified Force.com Developer’ certification is for those who want to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and abilities in building custom applications and analytics using the declarative capabilities of Force.com platform. What this means is that the ‘Salesforce.com Certified Force.com Developer’ certification merely focuses on declarative capabilities and not the coding capabilities, which is the subject of ‘The Salesforce.com Certified Force.com Advanced Developer’ certification
