Trailhead modules for App Builder certification

Somebody asked me which trailhead modules could help for obtaining platform app builder certification. What I have done is to elaborate an index of them, in order you can practice some of the concepts that are asked in the certification. Obviously, doing this modules is not enough for passing the exam. However it is a good start point. Here you have my index:
