PL-400 Microsoft Power Platform Developer
The PL-400 Microsoft Power Platform Developer certification is designed for developers who want to go beyond configuration and build technically sophisticated, extensible Power Platform solutions. This comprehensive, exam-aligned course covers the full developer skill set — from building model-driven apps and advanced canvas apps, to extending the platform through plug-ins, client scripts, Power Apps Component Framework, and portal customisation, to integrating with external systems via the Common Data Service Web API and Azure.
