"Clicks, Not Code" to “Clicks are Code”: Add Git to your #Admin Superpowers
Details
To kick off 2019 for the Group, we are running a Hands-On-Training workshop on Git and development tools for Admins.
There’s a lot of excitement around Salesforce DX, Git, and other development tools on the Salesforce platform. David and Andrés will introduce these tools for administrators, and show how using version control and source code helps admins, developers, and teams collaborate to build great apps. We’ll share live demos, concept intros, and a hands-on workshop. Please bring your laptop and your Developer Edition org, and get ready to learn how clicks are code.
