Posted on by spacejam1976
Hi,
I'm a Dynamics Business Central developer 10 years of experience. I'm thinking about learning power platform development or Azure development (Getting AZ-204 or PL-400 certification). Which one would be better for my career?
Thanks,

    Hi Sir,

    After BC was unable to use .net (only available on-premise), Microsoft recommended using Azure function. Therefore, AZ-204 is undoubtedly helpful to BC development.
    As for Power Platform (PL-400), Microsoft is strengthening the integration of power apps, power automate, power pages, and power bi in its latest version, so I think this is also necessary. So for BC developers, just knowing AL is no longer enough.
    If I need to choose one among them, I vote for Power Platform.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
