Fun fact about Francis Pindar, as well as setting up this awesome blog, he’s also the man responsible for launching the largest Salesforce community event in Europe, London’s Calling. His blog looks at the power of cloud computing and he does it in a really fun way! However, if you’re not into reading through tonnes of blogs, his Salesforce posse podcast is a great way to get your dose of Salesforce information while you’re on the go!

No prizes for cracking this code – Admin Hero is a blog that’s written for, you guessed it, Salesforce Administrators. Set up by Salesforce MVP Brent Downey, his goal is to empower Salesforce Administrators all over the world to become workplace heroes. Salesforce Admins will be able to find insights on Salesforce-specific topics, but also get some advice on general business issues. He really promotes the importance of having an awareness and appreciation of how Salesforce fits into a wider business strategy.

Aside from the super interesting content, what we love most about Brent’s approach is his focus on the importance of transformation. His content discusses the power of upskilling yourself and gaining hero status; an inspirational read that’s really fitting with the encouraging ethos of the Salesforce community.

David Liu’s blog focuses on learning and certification training, building upon his own experience of learning code from scratch and going on to become a Salesforce MVP. He started the blog as he felt when he was learning Apex that all of the online resources were catered towards people who already knew how to code – and so he saw an opportunity to help people.

What’s super cool about SFDC99 is the number of success stories you’re able to read about on the blog – there’s a whole section of the website that looks at how people’s lives have changed thanks to those who’ve upskilled their knowledge and gone on to achieve their dreams.
