      • How is Salesforce Developer 401 different from Salesforce Platform App Builder?

        Salesforce replaced the Developer 401 Certification in September 2015 with the new Salesforce Platform App Builder Certification. The new Salesforce Developer course is considered the starting point for beginners and potential developers on the platform. The course covers the core concepts that you need to understand in order to pass the Platform App Builder Certification Exam.
