Course Overview

thinQtank® Learning is offering a unique five-day training camp comprised of five days of intense instructor-led learning for Cisco Certified DevNet Associate. As with all our Cisco Training Experiences - exams are delivered in the classroom.

The Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Core Platforms v1.0 course helps learners prepare for the Cisco DevNet Associate certification and for associate level network automation engineer roles. Learners will learn how to implement basic network applications using Cisco platforms as a base, and how to implement automation workflows across network, security, collaboration, and computing infrastructure. The course gives learners hands-on experience solving real world problems using Cisco Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and modern development tools.

This course helps learners prepare to take the 200-901 DevNet Associate (DEVASC) exam. By passing this exam, learners earn Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification.

This course is designed for anyone who performs or seeks to perform a developer role and has one or more years of hands-on experience developing and maintaining applications that are built on top of Cisco platforms.

The course is appropriate for software developers, application developers, and network engineers who want to expand their skill base and validate their skills in programmability, software, and automation. Learners preparing for Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification will also find this material useful.

This course will help learners:

■    Take advantage of the network when you implement applications to fulfill business needs.
■    Gain a foundation in the essentials of applications, automation, and Cisco platforms.
■    Prepare for the 200-901 DEVASC exam, which earns Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification.
