Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Core Platforms (DEVASC)

Description

The Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Core Platforms (DEVASC) training teaches you 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 training gives you hands-on experience solving real world problems using Cisco Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and modern development tools.
This training prepares you for the 200-901 DEVASC v1.0 exam. If passed, you earn the DevNet Associate certification. This training also earns you 48 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
