New Superbadge! App Customization Specialist


A new superbadge was just announced- the App Customization Specialist!  I do not know which event I am more excited about:
  1. My new baby brother who should arrive in the next 15 days
  2. Getting started on this new superbadge!
Keep your eyes out for new blog posts about this new superbadge plus photos of my new brother! 
I am going to start him out on Trailhead as soon as I can teach him to type!

Back to playing peek-a-boo with mom.....


PS- I am very excited about Salesforce certification maintenance being moved to Trailhead! It's much easier to hop onto Trailhead than to remember my password to WebAssessor.  Thank you Salesforce!
