Claude Certified Developer CCDV-F Study Guide (Digital Notebook eBook)

The full study guide for the Claude Certified Developer – Foundations (CCDV-F) exam. Around 10,000 words covering all eight domains and every skill in the blueprint — explained the way the exam tests them, not just listed back at you.

Who this is for

• Developers preparing for the CCDV-F exam
• AI/ML engineers, technical leads and senior software engineers who build, integrate and ship Claude-powered applications
• Anyone working with the Claude API, Agent SDK, Claude Code or MCP who wants their knowledge organised against the exam blueprint

What makes this different

The CCDV-F is a builder's exam that rewards judgement over recall — most questions describe a real engineering situation and ask which approach fits the constraint (cost, latency, reliability, security). So every skill in this guide is worked through in four beats: what it is, why it works that way, how the exam frames it, and the traps — the plausible wrong answers a competent developer would actually reach for.

It's also weighted the way the exam is weighted. Applications & Integration is a third of the paper, so it gets the deepest treatment; the two smallest domains get proportionate coverage so you don't over-invest.

What's inside

• All 8 domains and 20 skills, each with its exam weight so you can revise in proportion
• Original diagrams — realtime vs batch API selection, the built-in / custom-tool / Skill / MCP decision, prompt-injection defence layering
• Analogies throughout that make the abstract patterns stick
• "How the exam thinks" — the recurring answer patterns that let you narrow four options to two
• 12 original practice questions with full explanations of why each distractor fails
• A four-week study plan and a pre-booking readiness checklist
