We provide virtual course about DEVCOR: Developing Applications Using Cisco Platforms and APIs. This course helps you prepare for the DevNet Professional (DEVCOR) exam. By passing this exam, you earn the Cisco Certified DevNet Specialist - Core certification.
Course description:
The Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) course helps you prepare for the 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.
Important note about self study:
Please note this course is a combination of Instructor-Led and Self-Paced Study - 5 days in the classroom and approx 3 days of self study. The self-study content will be provided as part of the digital courseware that you recieve at the beginning of the course and should be part of your preparation for the exam.
