Hi folks,

I've been powering my way through Trailhead recently, I've now gone through all of the Admin (just looking through the Advanced trail currently) and also want to gain a better understanding of Programmatic side/more Development focused features.

It probably helps if I state that I've worked in Sales for most of my career so  stepping into the technical realm is a fairly big jump for me! Can anyone advise:

- Would it be best to cotinue with the advanced admin trail *before* moving onto the 'Developer - Beginner' trail, or is it worth learning the programmatic side along with declarative before tackling the final trail?

- Is there a good place to start learning APEX? I have a very basic understanding of the code from what i've managed to gleam through Trailhead, but it seems like a 'JAVA/C# for Dummies' book or something similar may be a good idea?

If anyone could spare 2 mins to give me some advice I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance

Jack

I have just set up a developer account and have tried to log in but the first time I have treid the site comes up in French everytime and won't let me in.
I am trying to enter it via the following link: 
To easily log in later, save this URL:
https://login.salesforce.com/

everything is in French and then it asks me the incorrect security questions and has locked me out - have now asked for a password rest for the 3rd time.
