I passed the Salesforce ADM201 certification exam today. It’s been a five-year road to get here. From the first week I began working with Salesforce, I decided attaining certification was something I wanted to pursue.
Now that I’ve done it, I thought it might be good to share the things that helped me be successful with those looking to do the same.

I had the need to add a bunch of named text files to a folder in the Finder on my Mac today.

Some time ago, I set up my Gmail account in Apple Mail to copy over messages which were not sent to my jimmitchell.org account. I’m one of those guys who likes to have everything all in one place at my fingertips when I need it.
