Today I just want to share how much of a TRUE GEEK I really am.
Geek Out #1: I got an email from an undisclosed employee of Salesforce.com letting me know that he recommended me to Pluralsight as a potential contributor to their upcoming video series on Force.com!
I spoke to Megan with Pluralsight the other day, and now I'm planning on what my video audition is going to be, and I'm going to record it this weekend.
For those of you who aren't familiar with
Pluralsight , they bill themselves as "hardcore developer training". It's a subscription site for learning how to do .NET, and C# and HTML5 and RUBY and well, lots of other programming languages.
They don't have a Force.com section yet, so they asked me (based on my recommendation from the "unknown" employee of Salesforce.com) to do a ten minute audition video.
It needs to be something that can actually be learned within ten minutes, not just a ten minute portion of a larger training. I'm leaning towards "Creating Custom Buttons" right now, but I'd be happy to take some suggestions if any of you have some ideas!
Geek Out #2: I'm coordinating some volunteer time with our local area user group leader Rachel Rogers. (Houston Area User Group aka HUG).
At my suggestion, Rachel reached out to the community, and gathered a group of us who would like to volunteer training, or development or even data entry for a Non-Profit Organization that uses Salesforce.com
We heard back from the Board of Directors Chair with the Schizophrenia and Related Disorders Alliance of America here in Houston, and we are getting ready to start meeting with her to get started helping them out!
I'm really excited about that, I love donating my time to help those in need, and I love working in Salesforce.com, so this is just right up my alley!
