Before you start

This is an advanced course. About four years of SharePoint and web development experience is recommended. You should already be at ease with core SharePoint development and the basics of building for the web. If you are newer to SharePoint, start with the 70-488 core solutions course, which covers the base skills this course builds on. Each module stands on its own, so you can also go straight to the topic you need, such as search or publishing.

About the 70-489 exam

The 70-489 exam, Developing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 Advanced Solutions, was issued by Microsoft. It tested your ability to build advanced SharePoint 2013 solutions, from apps and search to content management and external data. Microsoft has retired the 70-series exams, so you can no longer sit this exam. The course is still useful if you support or develop on SharePoint 2013 sites. Many organisations still run SharePoint 2013, and the app, search and content management skills taught here help you support and extend those sites.
