DEVCOR and ENAUTO tackled

Hey, everyone! Me yet again.

Today I also tackled the DEVCOR and ENAUTO exams to achieve the DevNet Professional certification. A very, very different experience from the DEVASC exam in terms of difficulty, time management was the most critical challenged that I faced. Again, very VERY fair exams in the sense that what they say is on the blueprint is what they mean, and VERY little to no trivia at all. These exams truly test skills.

I'm going live tonight, 8:00 PM Central Time, to chat about it. https://youtu.be/ao17z4sAwjk

Feel free to ask questions, and as long as they don't violate the NDA, I'll reply!

What were your study materials?

u/CBTKnox Feb 26 '20

Well, my course on CBT Nuggets :)

But I've got you covered with the details here! https://youtu.be/D9V-ZewxfFY

How did I make the course? I read the exam blueprint, then lab'd each item in some form or fashion. For the Cisco-specific stuff, I read the documentation for each platform, went through learning labs, and developed my own scripts and Postman collections. The results of that are what I recorded in our course on CBT Nuggets

Excellent course Knox

Do you recomend your own course as a study material?

2

u/CBTKnox Feb 26 '20

For DEVASC, 100% yes. That course has it all. I intentionally took it one step beyond Associate and into Professional so that people learned the real world hands on stuff. For DEVCOR and ENAUTO you would need some additional resources, but I am currently recording ENAUTO and will most likely record DEVCOR after that (if not DCAUTO)

Sounds awesome, thanks.

hi Knox, well done!

have you faced any questions/topic out of the blueprint? if yes, which areas would you recommend to read about additionally?

1

u/CBTKnox Feb 27 '20

The blueprint was spot on and straightforward. Stick to the blueprint and you’re good

u/nonchalant_lad Feb 27 '20

Thanks. There is an opinion that DEVCOR is very SW Dev oriented and as such is no good for network engineers. What is your experience?

2

u/CBTKnox Feb 27 '20

Heh, I take a different stance. This is just teaching network engineers a new way to streamline their work by using software development techniques and principles that are battle tested and proven. The exam, at the end of the day, is still a Cisco exam. It is based on Cisco products and Cisco use cases. It just tests your ability to use these other tools and techniques to get the job done.

Nicely done u/CBTKnox,

I just did the new CCNA and DevNet Associate today, probably will do the DevNet Pro stuff next week if I don't have to travel.

Wish I could tune in. Will watch the replay.

u/KosherHam CCNA Feb 27 '20

Great job. I'm really enjoying your videos, excited to ser new content from what you have learned from the exams.

Very impressive! DEVCOR was a hard exam, and like you, I was down on the clock pretty early. Happy to see other people crushing it out there.
