<p><b>Cisco DevNet</b> is Cisco's developer program to help developers and IT professionals who want to write applications and develop integrations with <a href="Cisco" title="Cisco">Cisco</a> products, platforms, and APIs. Cisco DevNet includes Cisco's products in software-defined networking, security, cloud, data center, internet of things, collaboration, and open-source software development. The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://developer.cisco.com/">developer.cisco.com</a> site also provides learning and sandbox environments as well as a video series for those trying to learn coding and testing apps.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>Cisco has a long history of building a developer community. Cisco began its developer initiatives in 2000 with the Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Devices (AVVID).<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At this time, most developers were focused on creating customizations for the Cisco <a href="VoIP_phone" title="VoIP phone">VoIP phone</a> systems.

</p><p>At some point, the developer focus of the AVVID program grew, and Cisco launched the Cisco Technology Developer Program (CTDP). This evolved into the Cisco Developer Community (CDC) and Cisco Developer Network (CDN) in 2009. This growth extended the number of <a href="Application_programming_interface" class="mw-redirect" title="Application programming interface">

APIs</a> used to build solutions on Cisco platforms, and included API guides, forums, downloads, and the early version of the sandbox system.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>As Cisco's need to support developers grew, DevNet was launched in 2014 under leadership of <a href="Susie_Wee" title="Susie Wee">Susie Wee</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The new Cisco developer network contains APIs from many of Cisco's technologies, including networking, IoT, collaboration, open source, data center, and others. It also contains learning labs, a sandbox, and a community where developers can share their creations. DevNet also attends and hosts many developer events, such as hackathons and coding camps <sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>DevNet holds developer events around the world, including the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://developer.cisco.com/ciscolive">DevNet Zone at Cisco Live</a>.

</p><p>DevNet held its first DevNet Create developer conference aimed at an application developer and DevOps audience in San Francisco in May 2017. Guy Kawasaki spoke about "<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUsPp7tUR-w">The Art of Innovation</a>" during <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://devnetcreate.io/2018/">DevNet Create 2018</a>. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://developer.cisco.com/devnetcreate/2019">DevNet Create 2019</a> returns to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California April 24–25, 2019.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Site_Components">Site Components</h2></div>

<p>DevNet has several components that help developers learn how to code and work with Cisco APIs.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="API_Guides_and_Documentation">API Guides and Documentation</h3></div>

<p>Cisco DevNet supports a wide variety of technologies. For each product, individual API guides and documentation are provided. Several API types are supported, depending on the product. For example, many of the newer technologies have <a href="Representational_state_transfer" class="mw-redirect" title="Representational state transfer">REST</a> APIs, while some of the older collaboration-based products might support <a href="XML" title="XML">XML</a> coding.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Learning_Labs">Learning Labs</h3></div>

<p>DevNet's Learning Labs provide individual labs, learning modules, and learning tracks for coders of all skill levels. Developers and students can learn coding basics. Network engineers can get more familiar with <a href="Software-defined_networking" title="Software-defined networking">Software Defined Networking</a> (SDN) and other networking-specific areas. Experienced coders can get more in-depth training on Cisco APIs.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sandboxes">Sandboxes</h3></div>

<p><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://developer.cisco.com/site/sandbox/">Sandboxes on DevNet</a> provide a free space where people can try out their code in a network environment. Depending on the product, some sandboxes are virtual while others utilize lab equipment.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>In June 2016, Cisco and <a href="Apple_Inc." title="Apple Inc.">Apple Inc.</a> announced a partnership at the <a href="Apple_Worldwide_Developers_Conference" class="mw-redirect" title="Apple Worldwide Developers Conference">Apple Worldwide Developers Conference</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This partnership was intended to build greater interoperability between Cisco gear and Apple iOS. Some of Cisco's supported APIs include:

</p>

<ul><li>Connected Mobile Experience (CMX)</li>

<li>Cisco Spark</li>

<li>Tropo</li>

<li>Cisco Instant Connect</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Getting_DevNet_Certified">Getting DevNet Certified</h2></div>

<p>You can choose to Do It Yourself or DIY, or you can follow a structured approach where a training provider has broken the official curriculum down into lessons, labs and practice quizzes. Regardless of the approach taken, DevNet skill set can be broken down into five domains of knowledge.

</p>

<ol><li>Network Fundamentals (protocols, devices, connectivity options up/down the TCP/IP stack including knowledge of Linux)</li>

<li>Programming Skills (primarily Python)</li>

<li>DevOps Tools (CICD, SCM's such as Git etc.)</li>

<li>Infrastructure APIs (obviously, every vendor has their own so DevNet program focuses on Cisco)</li>

<li>Application development (or Integrations) and Deployment lifecycle</li></ol>
