Description

Python for Networking / Systems Administrators teaches you basic Python scripting skills, and then how to leverage Python to automate your day-to-day administrative and networking tasks across a set of distributed clients. Working in a hands-on lab environment, you'll learn solid Python scripting essentials, as well as how to perform and work with more advanced features such as file operations, regular expressions, working with binary data. You'll also explore using the extensive functionality of Python modules, with an emphasis on network-focused modules such as SSH, Git, and RESTful services.
This course provides you with real hands-on experience exploring and working with Python, so you gain real basic level scripting skills, learning by doing, not just getting a quick overview of syntax and grammar. You'll leave this course able to use basic Python to complete these automated tasks in the real world, on the job, right after class.
