Why study this course
The Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) course helps you prepare for Cisco DevNet Professional certification and for professional-level network automation engineer roles.
You will learn how to implement network applications using Cisco platforms as a base, from initial software design to diverse system integration, as well as testing and deployment automation. The course gives you hands-on experience solving real world problems using Cisco Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and modern development tools.
The course includes additional self-study material that can be done at your own pace after the instructor-led portion of the course.
This course, including the self-paced material, helps you prepare to take the 350-901 (DEVCOR) exam. By passing this exam, you satisfy the core exam requirement toward Cisco Certified DevNet Professional, and you earn the Cisco Certified DevNet Specialist – Core certification.
