What is Namaste Salesforce

Namaste Salesforce is a learning site for the Salesforce ecosystem, built on the Ghost publishing platform with a custom, SLDS-inspired theme. Its job is to turn scattered Salesforce knowledge into structured, guided learning: self-contained courses, multi-section training roadmaps, reference documentation (which you are reading now), and a blog for shorter articles and release commentary.

The audience spans the whole ecosystem. Complete beginners start with foundational courses and the Admin roadmap; working admins move toward development; developers and architects go deep on Apex, LWC, integration, and scale. Because everything is tagged and routed consistently, a learner can follow a linear path or dip into a single lesson, and the theme presents each appropriately.

Content is organised around a simple idea: public tags define structure, internal tags drive presentation. A course's public tag names the course and groups its lessons; internal #-prefixed tags (like #course, #level-beginner, or #hero-2) tell the theme how to render cards, badges, and hero layouts without cluttering the reader-facing tag list. The rest of this documentation explains each of those mechanisms in detail.

The four content types map to four sections of the site. Courses live under /courses/, training roadmaps under /training/, this documentation under /docs/, and articles under /blog/. Each has its own listing page and its own routing rules defined in routes.yaml (managed in Ghost Admin, not in the theme repo).

If you are new, the recommended path is: read the next two docs to understand how courses, lessons, and training fit together and how progress works, then explore the Authoring sections when you are ready to create your own content. Everything here is designed to be practical — each doc ends with something you can actually do in Ghost Admin.
