This certification exam covers all that a developer needs to know to produce an application that depends on a Daml back-end for business logic and data persistence. This certification exam does not cover how to create Daml contracts (i.e., business logic; covered in “Daml Contracts”) or operate a Daml back-end (i.e., Daml Runtime + ledger; not yet covered in a certification exam).

In the certification exam, you will be tested on understanding API queries, general understanding of the operations of a Daml application (e.g., creating and consuming contracts and choices), managing data types, and handling error messages.
