T3: Platform Developer
T3 is an advanced course, which aims to teach you the basics of extending basic Dynamicweb functionality with custom projects. After following this course, you should be able to pass the C3 certification, which means you will be a certified Dynamicweb Platform Developer.
The course consists of a number of tutorials, which will explain various parts of the platform to you, from the overall concepts to the gritty details of e.g. creating a custom DynamicwebConnectorService add-in for the integration framework.
While being T1 & T2 certified is not a requirement for following the T3 course, we thoroughly recommend that you are familiar with the basic functionality in Dynamicweb; Content, Ecommerce, Marketing, Users, Integration, etc.
Unlike the T1 & T2 courses there are no actual assignments included in the tutorials, but we of course expect you to try the examples on your local solution wherever possible, as nothing beats hands-on learning.

- Install a local solution of Dynamicweb 9
- Download and install the Visual Studio template set for Dynamicweb 9
There are no additional requirements.
