Why I’m Building This
Namaste Salesforce is a beginner-friendly platform I’m building to document my learning journey, updates, and improvements—and to publish structured training modules once I’ve learned & applied things in real projects. Expect short, practical lessons, transparent progress updates, and a clear roadmap. Built for newcomers, busy professionals, and anyone who wants a calm, reliable path into Salesforce.
I recently got placed into the Salesforce stream at Accenture as a fresher. Background: I studied Java + SQL and know a little bit of web development. The whole story—and how I’m approaching this switch—is in my newsletter (newsletter link here).
Salesforce keeps talking about millions of ecosystem jobs in the coming years. If I learn this well and share clearly, maybe a college graduate somewhere finds an honest starting point. That’s the gap I want to fill.
Stack Decisions (Day 1)
- Considered WordPress → switched to Ghost CMS for speed, simplicity, and clean publishing.
- Grabbed Magic Page Hosting (lifetime) as an investment in shipping without friction.
- Design vibe: pastel, minimal, fast, and readable on mobile first.
What’s Live (v0.1.0) ✅
- About page — why this exists & what to expect.
- Training page (skeleton) — Module list + roadmap placeholder.
- Journal — this very log; I’ll post small, frequent updates.
- Social handles reserved — YouTube, Instagram, X, LinkedIn (links coming).
- Navigation — Home · About · Training · Journal.
- Brand baseline — soft palette, clean type, no heavy UI.
Working On (in progress) 🛠️
- Module 1: Getting Started — 5 simple sections:
- Pre-Salesforce era (problem → platform)

Guardrails (so I don’t get fancy and forget the point)

- If something sounds complex, I’ll rewrite till a kid gets it.
- No gatekeeping, no gyaan overload—real examples only.
Closing Thought
I wanted a calm, beginner-first, no-nonsense Salesforce starter. Couldn’t find it. So… why not me?
Let’s lay bricks—one clear lesson at a time.
