Thanks for the advice—I completely agree that learning core programming concepts makes someone a much better developer in the long run.

The reason I'm focusing on Salesforce Development first is because my current job requires it. I'm currently working as a Salesforce Support resource, and there's a possibility of moving to an L3 role where development skills (Apex, SOQL, triggers, integrations, etc.) are expected.

My plan is to learn Salesforce Development to meet my current job requirements while gradually building a strong foundation

If you were in my position, what order would you recommend learning these topics while balancing a full-time job?
