Yesterday I passed the Cisco DEVCOR 350-901 exam and fulfilled the DevNet Professional certification. To accompany that I today have the Credly badges to prove it.
This was my first try on the exam and I must say I enjoyed it a lot, both the actual exam and the study journey. It was a really fun exam to study for and I believe it covered a lot of great topics for the modern network engineer.
Study resources used
My main study resource for the Cisco DEVCOR exam was the OCG (ISBN: 9780137370443). This book provided a structured approach to understanding key concepts and exam topics, as well as other perspectives to the world of software engineering and infrastructure automation.
In addition to the OCG, I extensively used Ciscos platform API documentation to dive deeper into automation and programmability of the different offerings. The official documentation was great for understanding how different APIs work and how to implement them effectively.
To gain hands-on experience, I leveraged the Cisco DevNet Sandbox labs. Following the exam blueprint, I practiced real-world scenarios in a lab environment, reinforcing my knowledge and improving my troubleshooting skills.
However, as learning never ends. I will end this post with a fun code-influenced line.
