I recently completed Cloud Code Academy's Salesforce Developer 101 course as part of the pre-work for the Kickstarter program. This course provided me with the foundational knowledge needed to set up VS Code, GitHub, and write basic Apex programs. The content was clear, practical, and directly applicable to my Salesforce development journey. Best of all, Salesforce Developer 101 is currently free—there's nothing to lose! I highly recommend it to anyone starting out in Salesforce development.
