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 alearn-by-doing fashionand thequizzes 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 thereal-life network scenariosand apply your knowledge to build10 great network toolsusing the power of Python.

Equipped with working files, cheat sheets andPython code samples, you will be able to work alongside me on each lecture and each application. I will provide thefull code for each application, so you cansave time and start coding and testingon the spot.

We will use emulated Arista vEOS switches in VirtualBox and/or GNS3 totest our Python apps in a network environment, so you can see the actual results of running your Pythoncode.

I encourage you to learn Python, anamazingly beginner-friendly programming languageand take your network engineering job to ahigher level of automation.


What others have to say about this course?

"I have been programming since 1978 and wanted to learn python. I have had no java or OOP experience, and I tried several 'paper' tutorials but got little out of them. The first part of this course is a steady walk through the Python language at just the right speed. The instructor seems to touch all the basis in a logical and methodical way while providing examples and explanations. I can only conclude the instructor is a professional educator who spent considerable time structuring and organizing the course. The result is evident. THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO LEARN PYTHON!"by Larry Laswell

"I've tried learning from the books & multiple videos - most were too basic to make a practical app. Some books were too thick and made me sleep. But still none of the materials had the perfect balance like this course where all the basics were covered, instructions were concise, and Mihai walks you through how to create 7 practical apps step by step. I've also tried reading some advanced python book which didn't make sense because it was too advanced. Let me tell you, this is hands down "that course that takes you up to beyond the basics" to bridge you to the advance topics. Right now I'm hitting the advanced topics and it finally makes sense..."by Joon Park

"Usually I'm not doing courses review but this time I will make an exception. During time I took a lot of trainings but very few provided by Udemy proved as having the right approach in teaching the audience. I will mark this one as being one of my personal top three best trainings as content's quality, technical explanations, and additional learning materials perspective. Long story short this course is a very simple, straight forward way of learning Python for managing IT networks."by Johnny Stanescu

"This is a great course for network engineers who would like to start automating their tasks. Geared towards beginners, this course teaches the fundamentals of programming and applying those concepts to networking. There is a lot of fluff about python on the internet, however the instructor managed to put together the necessary information to start automating the network. A working knowledge of TCP/IP is needed to get the most out of this course. Should you understand every lecture, you will be ready to start writing your own scripts according to your needs. In particular, I loved the use of scapy, an amazing tool which should be in the arsenal of anyone working with TCP/IP."by Costin-Alin Neacsu

"I've seen the blueprint and some demo videos and I was convinced right away. Without a doubt, it's one of the best trainings a network engineer can have. It gives you actual valuable and marketable skills that you can use in your daily job. Mihai explains the topics really well, with practical examples making it a fun way to learn. Highly recommended."by Vlad Vlaicu
