Overview

  • Course Overview
  • Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Core Platforms (DEVASC) is a 5-day course which helps students prepare for Cisco® DevNet Associate certification and for associate-level network automation engineer roles. Students 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 you hands-on experience solving real world problems using Cisco Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and modern development tools.
  • Audience
  • his 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. Students preparing for Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification will also find this material useful.

    The job roles best suited to the material in this course are:

    Network automation engineer
    Software developer
    System integration programmer
    Infrastructure architect
    Network designer

Prerequisites

  • The knowledge and skills that the learner should have before attending this course are as follows:
