Some Salesforce and IT administrator jobs require knowledge of coding techniques and syntaxes. However, you can pursue a career in Salesforce administration without coding skills. A basic understanding is helpful, especially when it comes to JavaScript, Visualforce, or Apex. However, you can easily manage the platform without having programming knowledge by using the web interface and application framework. You just need to understand how to use point-and-click tools so you can translate business requirements into Salesforce app implementations.
