I am working as junior asp.net programmer with vb, I do source code documentation, also web reporting tool user manual for clients. I have knowledge in vb.net, asp.net, sql, ssrs, html mainly. Since quite a long time, I was thinking of shifting to cloud side; salesforce.com. But, I am not sure how to step into it, what are the requirements? What programming language is it based on mainly? Do I need to learn that programming language first or is it included in the certification? Does it require Java/C++/C# knowledge?
I am planning to have certification but don't know which is the best website to get the certification.
Do I need to have certification in salesforce.com administration first or can I go directly for salesforce.com developer certification?
What jobs can I apply for after getting the certification to start with? or can I directly apply for the developer position?
