Found the material and illustrations very informative. Great for the beginner as well as a fresh up for intermediate users. Very well broken down so it is not overwhelming. Great study if you are going for your Salesforce Certification. I am also glad that it covers enough of the Automation Tool, Flow Builder. Very important to know when trying to land your first or third Salesforce job.

I was a technical reviewer for this book, and I loved reading it...It has a very good plan structure. I personally find it to be more suitable for SME projects. I also believe that non-beginners will find it an interesting way to improve their knowledge of the essential parts of the Salesforce platform they may not master... So, highly recommended read!

Trailhead is very valuable when learning to navigate the Saleforce Platform, but I think we can all agree that one topic/module can lead to a rabbit hole of links to help articles and other modules or projects. Clicking on help articles can further result to links of several levels, it's so easy to get lost and see a good overview. This book provides that core information, from the basics down to the details with great screen shots of some step-by-step instructions on building out a use case scenario. Definitely a great reference to have on the side for the new admin, or a great resource when learning and preparing for the admin cert exam. This covers also some basics of flows, which is nice, although does not dive deeper into the more advanced concepts of flows (but flows deserve a whole book by itself). There are tips as well as questions to test your understanding and knowledge of the concepts. I also particularly like the topic on sandboxes with some screen shots, which I found valuable because these are not available on trailhead playground nor on dev orgs, but will definitely be in an admin's work responsibility. Maybe the next edition will include Slack and DevOps/Copado. I highly recommend this to those just starting on the Trailhead or in their admin jobs.

Salesforce for Beginners is a fantastic introduction to the functionality and administrative foundation of the Salesforce Platform. The updated version has a fantastic new chapter on Flow, which is the best reference material I have seen on the subject. I HIGHLY recommend this book for new and experienced Salesforce enthusiasts! Well done!
