You can reference to this page for the full SharePoint developer certification path: here.

As you can see 488 is the basic exam and 489 is the advanced one, so (hopefully) you need to take them in that order.

Also notice that if you want the MCSD certification you will have to take the other two exams.

  • I took the 489 exam first, it was perhaps the hardest MS certification exam I have ever taken. Mar 17, 2014 at 15:12

488 is the core one and 489 the advanced one, so you should normally start with 488 that is the easier cert.

I have passed both.
