Source-driven Development: SF Dev Essentials Series

Jan 28, 11:00 PM – Jan 29, 1:00 AM (UTC)

Salesforce Developer Group, Denver, United States

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.

About this event

Whether you're just getting into Salesforce development, stuck in outdated dev ops practices, or just looking for a refresher on source-driven development best practices, this session will have something for you. Source-driven development is more than just retrieving your metadata and saving it to Git. It's a process that varies a lot from company to company and project to project, but it's critical to produce high-quality code. 

Topics we'll cover:

  1. What is source-driven development?
  2. How source-driven development helps.
  3. How to set up a new project from existing metadata.
  4. How to work with scratch orgs.
  5. Building a simple github action to automate tests.

What to bring:

  1. A laptop
  2. A Salesforce org with some customizations. Can be a production org, sandbox, or just a developer org with a few customizations like a custom object or a trigger.
  3. VS Code 
    1. With the Salesforce extension pack.
    2. And preferably GitLens.
  4. Git installed/configured 

If you need help setting up any of these, post a message in the #general Slack channel. 

Food and drink TBD but we'll update here when we decide.
