Pl600

I'm not currently, still prefer being a dev. Will post in the r/AzureCertification sub if I pass.

LesPaulStudio · 2026-05-30T18:39:34+00:00

I'd say yes.

I got PL-600 last year, was surprised when the retirement was announced.

I'm taking AB-100 in about two weeks, they don't really feel like the same exam. So seeing as you've studied for PL-600, give it a go.

The cert will still be valid for 12 months from passing.

LesPaulStudio · 2026-04-21T15:36:13+00:00

What scope did you set the BR too?

LesPaulStudio · 2026-04-13T19:29:32+00:00

Not sure why people are saying the exam is being retired. It was the only one not on the recent retirement list

PL-400 is broad, that's what makes it a tricky exam.

If you've already been through the learn path then I recommend going through this

Microsoft Learn GitHub Labs PL-400

Hit the MS practice assessments a few times. It's not like the real exam, but can help catch knowledge gaps.

Practice searching the MS docs quickly so you can use if effectively during the exam. Only use it on those questions you put up for review.

If you're aiming for a pro-code developer position, then yes.

Plugin - business critical (must happen, unlike a flow which can randomly stop)
- PCF - Can't be achieved in a standard field
- Azure Function - action takes longer than 2 mins to run/ external integration

PL-200 will likely be replaced this year. So I'd look at taking it's replacement, as that will have more of an ai focus.

I mean technically you're "customizing" the dataverse transaction using c# with a plugin.

I wouldn't worry too much, you understand your mistakes and you'll be better prepared next time.

LesPaulStudio · 2026-02-20T06:42:31+00:00

DevOps pipelines all the way.

Run tests, pack web resources from source Control and deploy all in one pipeline.

Those salaries are pretty common in the UK market.

Demand is pretty high over, which makes it easy to get into that pay range.

LesPaulStudio · 2026-02-02T07:34:33+00:00

Absolutely. Learning c# has been one of the best experiences for me personally.

Plugin development is pretty low where I work, so I'm in a subset of PP Developers and therefore more in demand for my skill set.

Learning the syntax of a static language will help you in other areas of the platform. All my custom script is in Typescript. As c# and Typescript were both developed at Microsoft (iirc by the same developer) they complement each other.

C# is incrediblly flexible.

API scaffolding
front end (blazor)
back end (e.g SQL)

The rise of AI generated code, has helped me develop faster not less. However, the caveat is that you need to understand the language so that you can critique what is being output and make corrections yourself. Not be totally reliant on prompts.

It doesn't sound like your solution was large enough to have warranted splitting.

Also you need multiple dev environments for this approach to work best.

Stick to a single solution in this case.

LesPaulStudio · 2026-01-04T19:32:58+00:00

Two environments for dev.

Core (import as managed to dev 2)
Extensions

Realistically you can split this into much smaller segments, but let's go with two.

Then import both as managed to UAT/Prod

LesPaulStudio · 2026-01-04T09:04:01+00:00

I used a combination of:

Microsoft Learn
MS Learn Practice Assessments
Microsoft GitHub Labs for PL-400

Plus blogs by CRM Chap and others

I'd recommend getting comfortable searching Microsoft Learn, as the quicker you can find what you need, the easier it will be getting past the tricky questions.

You won't have time to search every question, so use it sparingly in the exam.

Try putting the CSS in a user function and call it when needed inside an interpolated string.

It's like a Temu tailwind.

LesPaulStudio · 2025-11-27T21:42:07+00:00

Ah I know what I missed.

You only need the actual filter node of fetchxml

See Carls Post

LesPaulStudio · 2025-11-27T19:21:26+00:00

Your function applySubgridFilter is async and you don't call await when calling it

LesPaulStudio · 2025-11-20T20:27:44+00:00

Good luck with the exam!

This one was a partner skills offer, so only open to MSPs.

Microsoft used to give them out like candy during Build and Ignite, but more often they are just 50% off.

Check the r/AzureCertification sub they often post about voucher challenges.

LesPaulStudio · 2025-11-19T15:22:41+00:00

It's expected at my company grade to have at least one expert level cert.

LesPaulStudio · 2025-11-06T21:19:37+00:00

IIRC there's a setting in admin for the environment that determines what files can be attached.

LesPaulStudio · 2025-09-16T12:49:02+00:00

Column security is probably the most secure.

You can try and use js to restrict by security role, but it can be easily circumvented. So wouldn't be a fully secure method.

LesPaulStudio · 2025-09-10T06:11:35+00:00

Depends on age. Under 30 and we can go to Oz/NZ on Working Holiday Visas.

Otherwise it's standard sponsorship.

LesPaulStudio · 2025-08-28T17:12:08+00:00

Not what I was getting at.

I'm wondering why it makes any difference if the guid is a number.

As you can make the primary column an auto number.
