Course Overview

The Sitecore V9 course by Sitecore is designed to prepare developers for the Sitecore® Experience Solution 9 Developer Certification Exam, equipping professionals with essential skills for roles such as Sitecore Developers, Solution Architects, and Technical Consultants.

Participants engage with key technologies including Sitecore XP, ASP.NET MVC, Solr search engine, SQL Server, Sitecore Rocks, and Visual Studio, gaining proficiency in modern development practices. The hands-on labs take place in a live Sitecore environment deployed via Docker-based containers, where students configure multi-site implementations, develop presentation layouts using static and dynamic placeholders, create MVC view and controller renderings, and implement search-driven components using the Sitecore Search API.
