Salesforce Platform App Builder Certification Companion by Rakesh Gupta

Salesforce Platform App Builder Certification, second edition is a comprehensive guide for budding and intermediate developers aiming to deepen their understanding of Salesforce. This book will start with the basics of Salesforce, shedding light on the limitations of its declarative platform and guiding readers on when to choose programmatic development or explore App Exchange solutions. The journey through the book will then delve into various configurations like data management and analytics, segueing into how to customize the application's appearance and functionality at an organizational level. Subsequent chapters will explore enterprise sandbox design patterns, process automation tools within Salesforce, and their appropriate applications. Finally, the book will tackle designing mobile-compatible applications and delve into Salesforce reporting.

This book's uniqueness lies in its focus on a niche yet crucial area of Salesforce, a domain where existing literature is sparse and formal training can be prohibitively expensive. By incorporating real-world examples, practical exercises, and multiple-choice questions, this guide will equip readers for the Platform App Builder certification, offering a comprehensive and efficient preparation tool.

This second edition of the book is especially timely, as it updates content to reflect the latest developments and features in Salesforce.
