Salesforce Developer Transition Plan for

Non-Technical Background
This plan is designed for someone with a non-technical background who has completed Salesforce
Admin certification and wants to transition into a Salesforce Developer role without feeling
overwhelmed by coding. The roadmap focuses on gradual skill-building, starting with low-code tools
and moving into coding step-by-step.

6-Month Learning Roadmap


1 Month 1: Strengthen Admin & Automation Skills: Master Flows, Validation Rules, Reports,
Dashboards, Permission Sets. Build complex automation without code to develop logical
thinking.
2 Month 2: Learn Apex Basics: Understand variables, data types, operators, if/else, loops.
Write simple Apex classes and triggers.
3 Month 3: Master SOQL & SOSL: Learn to query Salesforce data using SOQL and SOSL.
Practice with WHERE clauses, ORDER BY, LIMIT.
4 Month 4: Advance Apex Skills: Work on bulk triggers, batch classes, future methods, and
callouts. Learn best practices for governor limits.
5 Month 5: Begin Lightning Web Components (LWC): Learn HTML, CSS basics, then move to
JavaScript fundamentals. Create simple LWC components for UI enhancements.
6 Month 6: Build & Deploy Small Projects: Develop 2–3 mini projects combining Apex, SOQL,
and LWC. Deploy them to a sandbox and get feedback from the Salesforce community.

Tips for Smoother Transition


• Start with logic-building exercises before diving deep into syntax.
• Use Salesforce Trailhead modules daily (30–45 mins).
• Join Salesforce Developer community groups to get help.
• Practice in a Developer Edition org — break things, then fix them.
• Focus on one skill at a time instead of learning Apex, SOQL, and LWC together.
• Document everything you learn — this improves recall and creates a personal knowledge base.

With this gradual approach, you can become a confident Salesforce Developer in 6–9 months,
transitioning from low-code Admin tasks to fully coded customizations. Developer roles generally
offer higher salaries than Admin positions, and mastering both Admin and Developer skills opens
the path to Architect-level careers.
