In this hands-on session, we'll walk through how to set up source-driven development for your Salesforce project. The org is no longer the source of truth, the source code is. Whether you want to build a Salesforce app or work on a customers org, we'll cover how to set up your project, how to work with others, and common issues people face.
Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks provided.
