Cisco’s revamped DevNet certification portfolio focuses on network programing, automation and application development, and those software-based skills have never been more important.

Cisco's DevNet program provides software developers and channel partners with Cisco APIs, developer kits and other resources to create new applications for Cisco ACI and other platforms.

Cisco has a DevNet resources page with links to the DevNet certifications community, webinars and training videos, and other training products. How long is the certification valid?

Networking leader's new VP of developer relations, Grace Francisco, explains how the company's DevNet website and program is evolving for new community connections.
