Exam overview

The content of this exam was recently updated on January 20, 2023. This study guide reflects the latest objectives
The AZ-204 exam is the only exam needed to obtain the Azure Developer Associate certification. According to Microsoft -
“Candidates for the Azure Developer Associate certification are cloud developers who participate in all phases of development from requirements definition and design to development, deployment, and maintenance. They partner with cloud DBAs, cloud administrators, and clients to implement solutions.
Candidates should be proficient in Azure SDKs, data storage options, data connections, APIs, app authentication and authorization, compute, and container deployment, debugging, performance tuning, and monitoring.
