I’ll be honest. When I started in Salesforce, I bookmarked maybe 40 different blogs and sites. Read almost none of them. Got overwhelmed and gave up.
Few years later, I figured out something. The people who keep growing in this ecosystem are not reading 40 sites. They are reading maybe 5 or 6, but reading them often.
So instead of giving you another long list of every Salesforce blog under the sun, here are the 5 I actually open in my browser every week. Not paid placements, not affiliate stuff. Just what works.
You knew this one was coming.
Trailhead is Salesforce’s own learning platform and yeah everyone says use it, but they say it because it actually works. The labs are hands-on. You spin up a free dev org and build the thing instead of just reading about it.
For certs, do the Trailmixes. For new releases, do the release modules — takes 20 minutes and saves you from looking clueless when someone at work mentions a feature you missed.
If Trailhead is the classroom, Ben is the staffroom.
Started as one guy’s blog, now a whole publication. Certification guides, career stuff, release breakdowns. The tone is real — when something on the platform is bad, they say it. I appreciate that.
Their job board is also good if you’re looking around.
The name is misleading because it’s one of the most useful sites in the ecosystem.
It’s a community-run collection of tools and guides that Salesforce doesn’t ship but everyone uses. Flow actions for things that should exist out of the box but don’t. Detailed write-ups of solutions you can’t find anywhere else.
Just browse it once. You’ll bookmark it.
This is Rakesh Gupta’s blog. He’s a Salesforce MVP, multiple times over.
The site is the single best Flow resource on the internet. Hundreds of articles. Screenshots for everything. The man covers stuff like screen flows, record-triggered flows, HTTP callouts from flow — all of it.
His whole philosophy is “clicks before code.” Which honestly, more devs should listen to.
Free dev sessions, hosted live, recorded for later. Run by Amit Chaudhary.
It is basically a free university for Salesforce developers. Apex, LWC, integrations, DevOps, all covered. The advanced topics that beginner blogs skip? They cover them. Async Apex, governor limits in detail, Platform Events.
If you learn better by watching than reading, this is for you.
Don’t bookmark all 5 and try to read everything. That’s how you end up where I was when I started — overwhelmed and reading nothing.
