Hey Devs,
Like most of you, I want to get certified. All of the developer resources I post are a means to that end, and this one is no exception. A colleague of mine told me about this study group called GirlForce. Joining the group seem like a great way to go when it comes to organized collaborative learning. This is especially true if you cannot afford a Salesforce sponsored class.
I recently attended an informational meeting on what the study program is all about. One question I did not ask was if the group was strictly for women only... I believe the first open spots go to women, and the rest are open for anyone. But don’t quote me on that!
There is a significant time commitment to be a part of the group, but it is all in all reasonable and will make you a better member of the salesforce community. You meet weekly as a group and people take turns presenting a designated section of the salesforce.com study guide for whichever certification you are pursuing. You are also expected to contribute to the Salesforce Foundation Community via the Power of Us Hub and the Salesforce Success Community.
The Salesforce Success Community really is a huge draw to using and learning the platform. Check it out, you’ll see what I mean. There are groups available to join by topic which can help you solve problems and issues that you may run into at any point of your salesforce career. In turn you may learn something that could really help someone out and be able to share that as well.
Unfortunately I couldn’t commit to the requirements for this first session starting in 2015 but they have them on a rolling basis so I will be able to join up later. I’m hoping that studying with this group, plus the hours I’ve been spending configuring the platform, will make certification a reality.
Till next time...
