Hi Team..First of all I must say that the content is awesome.I am writing my PD-2 on 23 January .
You guys are doing a great job by putting and organizing all the required information.
I wanted to check if the content has already been aligned with the Winter 21 release.
Best Regards
Hi Abhi, we are glad to know that you find the materials helpful! The whole team wishes you good luck with your upcoming certification exam! Yes, the materials are up to date based on the official exam outline for the Winter21 release.

Hey Martin.
Started buying your material a year ago and just passed my PD1 added to community cloud, Service Cloud, FSL, and of course admin. THanks
Congratulations, Daniel! The whole FoF team is happy to know that our materials helped!
I passed the Developer II exam a month ago, focus on force was my primary source for study after completing the trailmix and I can tell that is awesome ! it was really helpful to keep me on the track of the correct subset of subjects and to not lose time looking around for data.
Thanks focus on force!
Hi Juan Pablo, congrats on passing the exam, we’re happy to hear that our materials helped!
I see few topics ‘content coming soon’ for platform developer 2 . Is there any specific date for these topics to be updated with contents. I am planning to give the exam end of this month.
Hi nkundeti, we don’t have dates yet but we are working hard on these updates and ensure that we release comprehensive and high quality content.
