I was poking around in Trailhead in the projects section, and I found a module that walks you through creating a handy little app that you can use to track what you are learning. The module is: Build an App to Track Your Trailblazer Journey
My purpose for starting this blog was to track my journey in preparing for my Admin certification, but I figured this would be a great exercise in building my first app. It was a fun, easy process, and it has really whetted my appetite to try building other apps now.
Aside from building my first app, I have been enjoying my journey on Salesforce’s Trailhead learning environment as I prepare for the Salesforce Administrator Certification exam. I have purchased the Admin practice exams from Focus on Force, and I immediately noticed that the content on Trailhead is excellent preparation for working as an Admin, it is not effective preparation for the test. I am in a study group through the Talent Stacker Career Development program and in our latest meeting we talked about the importance of balancing what we are learning in the Trailhead modules, and then looking at practice test questions on those topics.
If you have not already tried it, I recommend giving building an app a try. It is incredibly satisfying to build an app that works. It is quite simple, but it works. I cannot wait to build more complex apps next.
