How to start learning Salesforce

Salesforce.com is a company that leverages cloud computing to design Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software for organizations. This CRM software can be used by salespeople to track sales, support people to track the resolution of queries and cases, and the entire workforce of a company to collaborate with each other.

The best of SFDC is its vast documentation and publicly available resources to learn easily.

My goal is to help you learn Salesforce as quickly as possible!

Disclaimer: all the resources provided in this blog post are publicly available I am just guiding you to those resources.
