Dive into Salesforce DX

Is this the right course for you?

This introduction is for Salesforce developers moving from changes made entirely in an org toward source-based development. Follow the recorded workflow to understand the relationship between a local project and Salesforce. The lessons are a foundation for understanding deployment and CI/CD practices rather than a replacement for current tool documentation.

Before you start

Have a practice org, a code editor and permission to install the Salesforce CLI. This is an older SFDX series: command names, authentication screens and plugin behavior may differ from the current sf CLI. Check the current CLI help when reproducing a command.

Put the lessons into practice

Create a small source-controlled project, retrieve a change and inspect the file differences before deploying to a practice org. Write down the command, the target org and the expected result. Never experiment with deployment or destructive commands against a production org.

Use the syllabus below to choose your next lesson. Pause as you go, reproduce the example, and check your result before continuing. This makes the lesson a practice session you can repeat, rather than a video you only watch once.
