Announcing Cisco DEVCOR (350-901) Training at Lammle.com!
That’s right – at Lammle.com, we believe the emphasis on Cloud, DevOps, Automation/Orchestration, and Programmability are here to stay and only get bigger. As such, we were thrilled to learn of the new Expert-level certification in the DevNet track of Cisco Certification.
We are responding with the creation of a hands-on DEVCOR (Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs) (350-901) video course that is sure to be unmatched in the industry.
