Appian developer exam

Hi bobbyu0001 - I am copying a respond I posted in the Appian subreddit a few months ago:

We recommend using Appian resources to prepare. It's great that you have made use of the courses and practice exam on Academy Online. There are even more resources you can tap into, especially on Community and in the Documentation.

Hands-on practice is really important, especially since certifications are intended to validate that you have the skills, not just the knowledge. Check out the interface recipes, function recipes, and process model workflows and recipes available in the Docs and try to build them for yourself using your very own Appian Community Edition environment.

Look for use case inspiration in the Solutions area of appian.com and within the AppMarket. See if you can build proof of concepts of some of these.

You should also check out

• the delivery area of the Success Center to learn more about SDLC

• the developer playbook to find best practices and other useful resources

• documentation on data modeling with Appian Records

For me personally, building some fun projects like little games or even a Pokédex using the PokéAPI can go a long way.

Best of luck!

Speaking of that PokéAPI - we did a livestream last week building an app with it. I shared an App Information Packet in this Community thread. You can also find the download packets for the past few Live Build Challenges in the Challenges area. Getting hands on and building apps is really important to learning (and being able to succeed as an Appian developer). I know it can be hard to come up with something to build which is why I work on developing the information packets I mentioned so that you can focus on building and not thinking up a use case.

Once you're building, you'll find you have more specific questions which you can bring to the discussion forums.
