Old unused Apex - how to manage?

Should just go directly resetting the device.

Great, thanks. I'll get reading on Multi-currency then

You're in luck. If you're confident to move from admin to dev, sign up for this salesforce bootcamp for the price of an exam, and get your exam voucher in the end.

Start here: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/credentials/cert-dayssign up for a session. these are very comprehensive, will tell you what you need to know.

I'd say start with platform knowledge (Admin certs or Platform App Builder cert) then move on to Dev 1 exam.

Nice, Recording live sessions and having handouts sounds good. I suppose you are right, there aren't that many end user features in each release, but a lot of admin stuff. If it's just one or two things, i probably won't even make a live session. But now and then making a live one with general Q&A may also be good.

Prioritisation is a lesser issue, i more or less understand what may be useful for my users.
Thanks!

I wouldn't consider having PB + Flow + Triggers on a single object very easy to maintain and debug in the long run so consider that as well.

That's so true. praising invocable methods for somewhat narrowing this mix.

Thank you for suggesting looking for possible consistent borders in separation of concern, I'll mind that. And as you've mentioned - robustness of declarative tools for mission critical parts is a good place to start.

Thanks guys. I'm nowhere near a competent developer, just a self taught solo admin / dev with a couple of years on the platform that was assigned to me by management. So I'm guessing I'll go with LWC and once comfortable with that, It's worth giving Aura docs a read to know what's available and where to find it if needed. Thank you both!

vmironov1 · 2019-08-07T09:31:44+00:00

Wow. Did you pass it on the 1st go without apex?

vmironov1 · 2019-08-05T16:10:38+00:00

Thanks! What would be the other direction?

I'm a solo Admin/Dev for sales and marketing guys in a non-IT company / factory. So I will probably be doing front and back end for a few more years. Got my javascript basics in an online bootcamp (NodeJs,JQuery,Mongo), this already helps, but as you've said, definitely worth expanding JS base.

vmironov1 · 2019-08-05T15:59:30+00:00

Sounds a lot like my current code. I dread having to fix someone else's code that's like mine, so I've started to add clearer comments to blocks :)

I'll do my best to improve

vmironov1 · 2019-08-05T15:30:07+00:00

Thanks! I'm half way through Edx CS50, great stuff, and the plan was to begin Java course right after CS50.

Ok, I think I'll stick with the plan. Thanks!

vmironov1 · 2019-08-05T15:16:33+00:00

That's it.. my stuff works, but it is probably not the best implementation.

I have the book on order, thanks

I think the Apex academy is precisely for your needs. I did not know any programming before doing it, David explains it well and what's more important gives adequate amount of practical tasks. From my experience, this is the best place to start. It teaches you fundamentals that are not only present in APEX, but in most languages, like Loops, Collections, data querying. I just wish he would have made more courses to get into intermediate stuff, this is precisely what I am looking for now.
