In last 3-4\u00a0years, Salesforce is well known cloud computing platform between\u00a0IT professionals and fresh college graduates. Dreamforce, well known for largest conference on planet breaking its own record every year. Salesforce is also\u00a0top Innovative company in world as per forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Change is inevitable – well adapted by Salesforce.\u00a0Unlike traditional languages, Admins and developers needs to be\u00a0updated every four months with each release. Many\u00a0system limitations we know get\u00a0addressed in next release. It has many products like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Force.com, Data.com, Marketing cloud, Analytics cloud and very easy to lost in those sections.<\/p>\n

I been working on Salesforce from last 6 years and questions regarding how to start with Salesforce is increasing day by day.<\/p>\n

Salesforce knows that\u00a0“With great power comes great responsibility<\/em>” and they already started to address this Developer\/Admin adaption problem with introduction of Trailhead<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is Trailhead ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In my words, “Trailhead is innovative training application developed and maintained by Salesforce which supports realtime module assignment validations and Trailhead badges on public profile”. It is getting updated with new contents and challenges frequently.<\/p>\n

Why should our company start using Trailhead for training\u00a0and why buzz every where ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It checks module completion exercises realtime using ToolingAPI <\/a>to confirm if trainee\u00a0has really completed assignment or not? After completion of each module user will be awarded with\u00a0points which will be\u00a0visible on public profile.<\/p>\n

I would suggest everyone\u00a0who wants\u00a0to learn Salesforce to complete module and showcase their Trailhead profile as a proof confirming completion of modules.<\/p>\n

Questionnaire at end of modules<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is recently\u00a0added modification Salesforce team has introduced in Trailhead. Who doesn’t likes to validate their understanding ? At end of each module, now we have to answer questions to earn points of modules, and it supports multi-choice also.<\/p>\n
