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,

Please work through online guided trainings paths which helps prepare you for Exam AZ-204: Training for Developers | Microsoft Learn

Completion of this course prepares for the PL-400: Microsoft Power Platform Developer certification exam. Exam PL-400: Microsoft Power Platform Developer - Certifications | Microsoft Learn

Hope it helps.

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.
