Technical Architect - Easy Guide - Series End

What is new in Technical Architect Certification ?

Salesforce decided to split CTA exam into different parts based on different vertical. To be honest, this is a very cool move, as no one can really master everything in Salesforce.
I know few CTA's who worked in only few areas, but still  managed to get CTA. This is totally unfair when salesforce claims this is the top level certification they have.

  • Apex & Visualforce Architect
  • Application Architect
  • Communities Architect
  • Identity Architect
  • Deployment Architect
  • Integration Architect
  • Data & Access Architect
  • Mobile Architect


How it's going to impact us ?

As a developer/admin, this is going to really affect us, if we are preparing for it over few months/years. If anyone passed Salesforce Multiple Exam before 31 Jan 2017 they can still apply for Technical Review board round. Otherwise, they need to meet the new requirements to appear for
Review board.

Preparation Guide ?

Salesforce has given a collection of free resources in the form of free ebook. 

Click here - Free ebook - Salesorce Technical Architect


What i have decided ?

Since, i love to Architect, Design & Code myself, i really don't want to just focus on one level of skills. Moreover, if someone want an Architect job from me, they may not expect any development work, So, i really don't want to get to that point. That's why i decided to get architect certification whichever involves more development work like 'Apex & Visualforce Architect', 'Integration Architect','Mobile Architect'

Any idea on career path ?

I would advice all my blog readers that there are multiple domains & levels of skills required to do any kind of work in salesforce. So, be stick with what you really love to do & get expert in that.


No more videos on CTA ?

So, i have decided to stop contributing to CTA, as it is getting very diverse & I'm going to share what i'm currently working on, like Lightning, Javascript, Apex, etc.

Technical Architect - Easy Guide - Series

Want to become a Certified Technical Architect (CTA) ?

I know that many Salesforce Developers & Admins want to pursue their career toward Architect role in Salesforce Platform. Though, they might have some experience, it's quite hard to get CTA. The main reasons are,

  1.   Wide Knowledge
  2.   Many points to remember
  3.   Many subjective ideas/decisions
  4.   Need of Communications skills
  5.   Expensive & Time consuming
  6.   Less Community Support

How i'm going to address these problem ?

      1) Wide Knowledge

Information are scattered around the web in Salesforce help manual, blogs, videos, webinars etc. I'm going to bring everything in one series of blog posts.

      2) Many points to remember

I'm going to present the information in more interested ways. So, it will be easy to digest & remember.

      3) Many subjective ideas/decisions

The information which has assumptions, considerations, limitations will be highlighted to give more readablity & clarity to the user.

      4) Need of Communications skills

There will be a section to improve communication specifically for Technical Architect role. So, going through them will help anyone master the skills.

      5) Expensive & Time consuming

I can guarentee that i will make sure that time taken by going this course will be the shortest compariing to other methods/resources. When you acheive the CTA is less possible attemtps, you will save a lot of money.

      6) Less Community Support

This basic intention of this blog is to give a collaboration support among CTA & those who want to achieve it.

How to follow this ?

I'm going to post series of topics in this blog & also in my youtube channel. So, either subscribe to my blog (or) youtube channel
