✔ Why would you take this course?
Hi! My name is Mihai. I've been a Network Engineer since 2008, having the privilege of working for 3 major corporations and configuring, maintaining and testing multi-vendor network environments. At the same time, I managed to obtain several well-known certifications, such as CCNA, CCDA, JNCIA and CCNP, which complemented the skills I was getting from my job and increased the number of job offers I was receiving to my LinkedIn inbox.
But the thing that simply jumpstarted my career was learning the Python programming language and implementing it in some of my daily tasks and processes. I've been a self-taught guy for most of my adult life and, since I lacked the time to read endless, boring programming books, I chose to learn by watching video tutorials and "getting my hands dirty" with code. Unfortunately, at that time I was unable to find a complete, coherent programming course for network engineers, so I had to put together various pieces of information scattered across Google and YouTube.
Almost two years later, after I had the chance to practice my new Python skills intensively, performing various tasks on network devices and automating hundreds of network tests, I decided to create this course for you - the network professional who knows that getting a certification just isn't enough anymore in today's job market. The ability to write scripts and automate certain tasks is one of the primary skills that the big employers are looking for.
This course simply enables you to save time and efforts whilst acquiring these in-demand skills and upgrading your career.
Join thousands of successful network engineers who have decided to learn Python using this 100% hands-on course!
Without further ado, I'll let you read more about the contents of the course down below and I'll hopefully see you in the first lecture.
✔ What's this course all about?
Python Network Programming (version 3.7) course aimed not only at network professionals, but at anyone having little or no experience in coding or network automation and a great desire to start learning Python from scratch. This hands-on Python Network Programming training takes you from "Hello World!" to building complex network applications in no time.
During this course you will learn Python concepts which are relevant to your networking job and build some amazing network tools:
- Python 3 - Basics
- Python 3 - Strings
- Python 3 - Numbers and Booleans
- Python 3 - Lists
- Python 3 - Sets
- Python 3 - Tuples
- Python 3 - Ranges
- Python 3 - Dictionaries
- Python 3 - Conditionals, Loops and Exceptions
- Python 3 - Functions and Modules
- Python 3 - File Operations
- Python 3 - Regular Expressions
- Python 3 - Classes and Objects
- Python 3 - Advanced Concepts and Tools
- Python 3 - Download the Cheat Sheet
- Python 3 - Download the E-Book
- Setting Up the Working Environment
- Network Application #1 - Reading / Writing Device Configuration via SSH
- Network Application #2 - Building an Interactive Subnet Calculator
- Network Application #3 - Extracting Network Parameters & Building Graphs
- Network Application #4 - Building a Basic Network Packet Sniffer
- Network Application #5 - Config File Management and E-mail Notifications
- [BONUS] Running Python Code via Remote Servers
- Final Section
Sounds unbelievable given your current programming experience? Well, it's true! How?
First, you will learn and practice every Python 3 key concept, which is explained in one or more video lectures, followed by a short quiz. Each video is filled with relevant examples, in a learn-by-doing fashion and the quizzes will help you consolidate the main ideas behind each Python topic.
After laying the foundation (and also exploring some advanced Python topics), you will dive right into the real-life network scenarios and apply your knowledge to build 5 great network tools using the power of Python.
Equipped with working files, cheat sheets and Python code samples, you will be able to work alongside me on each lecture and each application. I will provide a virtual machine with all the Python modules already installed and also the full code for each application, so you can save time and start coding and testing on the spot.
We will use emulated Arista vEOS switches in VirtualBox to test our Python apps in a network environment, so you can see the actual results of running your Python code.
I encourage you to learn Python, an amazingly beginner-friendly programming language and take your network engineering job to a higher level of automation.
