Motivation behind this
Many a times, I have received requests from unknown aspirants through Facebook or Linkedin as to how to get started his/her career to Salesforce, or how to transform their career to Salesforce.
Very recently, two of my colleagues who are working on Mainframe for quite a long time and trying to learn Salesforce from me and I am guiding them on day-to-day basis.
I thought that this guidance could be good start for others to follow. The following content is indicative and may vary from person to person and based on their existing skill set.
