Bienvenue! Welcome!
My goal is to help you work faster.
I must speak and teach until I hear 10 people say, "That thing you taught me? I used it! And it saved me time!"

So check out the tutorials. Play with code. Tell me about your triumphs.

(“OMG, that’s technically correct but painfully oversimplified” comments not necessary at this point.) 😃

I edit this blog using Git. Learn how I set up graphical software called SourceTree to make it easier.
(This is also a gentle way to start getting used to concepts behind Git if you’re a Salesforce administrator who wants to learn SFDX.)
