What skills do you need to become a Salesforce programmer?

  • IT Consultant Jobs - Peterson Technology Partners

    Programming Abilities

    While Salesforce famously allows for lots of “no code” customization, to become a Salesforce programmer, you must be able to write code at a very high level. Salesforce coding projects typically use JavaScript to handle frontend development and Apex for backend development, but you may see complex roles like Salesforce engineer jobs that require other languages.

  • IT Specialist Jobs - PTP

    Salesforce Specific Languages

    In addition to the mainstream programming languages you’ll need to know, there are a few proprietary Salesforce ‘dialects,’ so to speak. If you become a Salesforce analyst, for example, you’ll likely need to know some of the main Salesforce scripting languages, like Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) and Salesforce Analytics Query Language (SAQL), among others.

    • Salesforce Scrum Master – If you’ve worked in agile environments before, this title might look familiar! Salesforce Scrum Masters lead Salesforce project teams and make sure that key development resources are plentiful.
