The developer exam will still be recognized by SFDC.

The developer exam was discontinued starting on September 14, 2015.The rest of this blog focuses on the transition exam and in case you are not eligible then its gonna be a little more harder as you need to take the complete exam. If you hold the erstwhile developer certification, then you are eligible to write a short transition exam to get the new App Builder cert. In my opinion, Salesforce has tried to break out the declarative capabilities of the platform and utilize the App Builder cert to test our knowledge about it. Salesforce Certified Platform Developer II Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I (I also hold this certification and more about it in another blog post)ģ. Salesforce Certified Platform App BuilderĢ. has introduced 3 new exams among others in the recent past. Once in a lifetime! and don’t forget about climate change! Those of you who hold the Salesforce Certified Developer certification actually hold a piece of history because this certification was made to ride heroically into the sunset on Sept 14 2015.
