Certifications for BI Developers
I am asking some advice on Business Intelligence curriculum/certifications/licenses when related to Azure and Microsoft technologies.
What are good certifications today for Business Intelligence Developers with knowledge of PowerBI and SQL Server, who would like to enlarge their curriculum to Web Development (such as React, Python, C#) ?
In regards to Azure, are there still any Microsoft exams focused on SQL Server or programming?
Is Business Intelligence still the good word to use to refer to Dashboards, Reporting Apps & Tools, or did Analytics replace this notion entirely? I still see job posts for "Business Intelligence Developers" which include a lot of analytics activities requirements. What would other synonyms/options for this type of job be?
Is Azure Synapse Analytics the latest solution from Microsoft in this matter?
Thank you,

I would look into these certs:
How about Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate?
Kidd_Ip Thank you, seems to have about all of what I was looking for. It also relates to learning how to build event based solutions (using Azure Event Grid and Azure Event Hubs); so this could relate to Synapse Analytics.
Does anyone have any opinion on the difference between Business Intelligence and Analytics? Since 70-761, 70-764 and 70-768 exams have been retired in 2021, both terms have been used interchangeably; although some refer to Business Intelligence when discussing current business operations, and to Analytics when working with trends and future business operations.
Would this be a correct assumption in your opinion?
Thank you,
