Reddit – Dive into anything

About once a quarter, I run a free Python for Network Engineers email course. An email a week for 10 weeks. The next course will start next Thursday (May 21).

The emails consist of videos, exercises, and additional content/reference links.

The course is largely a beginners Python course. It is oriented towards network engineers that have some programming background (Perl, shell scripting, etc). While the content really is about Python basics, most of the examples and exercises are related to network engineering. No pre-existing Python knowledge is required.

The content of the course is as follows:

• Week1 – Why Python, the Python Interpreter Shell, Strings

• Week2 – Numbers, Lists

• Week3 – Conditionals and For Loops

• Week4 – While loops, Dictionaries, and Exceptions

• Week5 – Review and Exercises

• Week6 – Functions

• Week7 – Files and Regular Expressions

• Week8 – Modules and Packages

• Week9 – Classes and Objects

• Week10 – Paramiko SSH, Telnet, and Pickle
