Hi, is the Course structure organized correctly?
I am seeing “Developer Fundamentals” section first with the topics like “Given a scenario, determine, create, and access the appropriate data model including objects, fields, relationships, and external IDs.”
And then “Process Automation and Logic: Declarative Features” with topics like “Given a scenario, use declarative functionality and Apex together to automate business logic”
And then “Process Automation and Logic: Basic Apex” section with topics like “Declare variables, constants, methods, and use modifiers and Apex interfaces.”.
Hi Darshan, thanks for the inquiry. Yes, the course is organized according to the official Platform Developer 1 exam guide. Knowledge of the data model on the Salesforce platform is fundamental as a developer or any professional for this matter. As for the “Process Automation and Logic“, we have split this category specifically into multiple parts as the topics to cover are quite extensive. “ For example, “Declarative Features“ covers how Apex can be used to work together with declarative features as a given solution. “Basic Apex”, on the other hand, covers the basic concepts of Apex programming such as how to declare variables, contact, etc.
