Introduction
The networking industry is undergoing a transformation to using a software-oriented approach with APIs and automation. This change is driven by the ever-increasing complexity and size of networks due to new connections such as the IoT, as well as a need to deliver more agile networking services. This change requires a new software-oriented skillset that complements existing networking skills. The DevNet Associate course teaches students the best practices of modern software development practices and DevOps, to understand and learn how to securely use APIs, and how to automate network operations using those APIs.

Course Outline
1 -Course Introduction
2 -The DevNet Developer Environment
3 -Software Development and Design
4 - Understanding and Using APIs
5 -Network Fundamentals
6 -Application Deployment and Security
7 -Infrastructure and Automation
8 -Cisco Platforms and Development

Course Objectives
The DEVASC course is designed for people who want to learn the knowledge and skills they need to work in network programming and
automation. These course materials will assist you in developing the skills necessary to do the following:
• Use basic Python programming and Linux skills.
• Implement a development environment using DevNet resources.
• Use software development and design best practices.
• Create REST API requests over HTTPS to securely integrate services.
• Explain the processes and devices that support network connectivity.
• Use current technologies to deploy and secure applications and data in a cloud environment.
• Compare software testing and deployment methods in automation and simulation environments.
• Compare Cisco platforms used for collaboration, infrastructure management, and automation.

Target Certifications
This course aligns with the Cisco Certified DevNet Associate (DEVASC) certification. Candidates need to pass the 200-901 DEVASC
exam to achieve the Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification.

Prerequisites
Learners are expected to have the following skills:
• Basic coding skills in any object-oriented programming language (loops, if/else, objects, etc.)
• Basic understanding of computer networks (CCNA ITN level)
• Basic PC operating system navigation skills
• Basic internet usage skills
• Familiarity with Cisco Packet Tracer

New features
