NPDEV 'Next Evolution' Of Cisco DevNet

Cisco's new Network Programmability Developer Specialist (NPDEV) certification goes along with its DevNet community of developers.

"A lot of the DevNet training and components offered are very short in duration and they're basically to provide a baseline or introduction to the developers or the individuals that want get into DevOps and understand this at the basic level," said Teshi. "As they learn more, that's when they take [NPDEV] and get certified. Most of folks come to DevNet are not ready to get certified, they're getting in to get their feet wet.  So this is the next evolution for folks that come through the DevNet channels."
