Hi folks!

This is my journey with Dynatrace App Developer certification and I hope this help everyone need to start in this great track.

Before start in app development track you should learn both of (TypeScript and React) as the below important topics:

Typescript (https://www.typescriptlang.org/play)
learning typescript before starting in app development is a must to be familiar with all the mentioned examples in developer.dynatrace.com, here’s the list of important fields you should know and within the mentioned link you’ll have too much examples that mostly covers all the below fields
- data types
- statements (if , switch)
- loops (for, forEach, map, every, etc..)
- types & interfaces
- inheritance & polymorphism
- debugging & logging
React (https://developer.dynatrace.com/develop/react/)
Note: react is very easy to learn by following roadmap topics to the rest
- How to import libraries
- Configure routes and links
- Create Pages
- Create Components
