Python Network Programming – Hands On!: 2-in-1

Computer Networks, large and small, has become ever increasingly software-driven in the last several years. A typical network engineer faces the challenge of learning a completely new discipline that normally takes years to master.

This course will use Python (one of the most popular programming languages. ), an easy-to-learn, popular first-time-programmer language as the foundation to bridge the gap for network engineers facing the automation challenge, this will help network engineers become experts in using Python for networking. This video uses a project-based approach to teach you how to leverage this easy-to-learn language for network automation tasks. The goal of the course is to master key Python concepts as they are applied in the network engineering context.

This comprehensive 2-in-1 course is a step-by-step tutorial which provides hands-on, interesting examples with clear and friendly explanations that you can follow along with, covers common mistakes, and provides useful tips and in-the-trenches advice. Hands-on TCP / IP protocol suite and Python language. Achieve Network Monitoring with Low-Level Network Device Interaction. Network Modelling through API. Improve network agility with Intent-based Networking.
