Writing apps is easy. Writing good apps is hard. Writing apps that meet business requirements and follow the right architectural patterns is really hard. In this course, Assessing and Enhancing Applications Using Cisco DevNet Techniques, you will gain the ability to evaluate applications based on a variety of common factors and make design recommendations as a result.
