MCSD: App Builder

PLEASE NOTE: Microsoft continues to evolve and update this curriculum frequently - as such - course outlines and topics are subject to change in order to reflect the most current changes to technology. 

The MCSD App Builder is the NEW Microsoft Certification to recognize developers who know the latest technologies to build web and cloud applications using Visual Studio 2017. This "combo camp" combines the prerequisite MCSA Web Apps with the MCSD App Builder. The 9 day boot camp provides a comprehensive deep dive using HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript to implement programming logic, define and use variables, perform looping and branching, develop user interfaces, capture and validate user input, store data, and create well-structured application then develop advanced ASP.NET MVC 5 applications using .NET Framework tools and technologies. Finally, take an existing ASP.NET MVC application and expand its functionality as part of moving it to Azure and build a highly available solution in the cloud.
