Udemy - Python and Network Automation: Build 5 Python Apps (2015)

Learn Python From Scratch! Go from zero programming to building great network apps with Python. Full Python Apps Inside! Do you want to become a Python Developer without having to spend a lot of money on books and boring theoretical courses? Are you a network professional who wants to start automating network tasks? Or maybe you're seeking a raise or even a career change? Join over 1,500 successful students who have decided to learn Python, upgrade their networking skills and boost their careers using this 100% hands-on course!

During this course you will learn Python concepts which are relevant to your networking job and build some amazing tools:

Python App#1: Subnet calculator.
Python App#2: Configuring multiple devices concurrently via SSH and Telnet.
Python App#3: DHCP client simulator for testing a DHCP server.
Python App#4: Collecting information from routers and storing it in a MySQL database.
Python App#5: OSPF network discovery via SNMP. Building the OSPF topology.

Sounds unbelievable given your current programming experience? Well, it's true! How?

First, you will learn and practice every Python 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 networking scenarios and apply your knowledge to build 5 great network tools.

"There is no major prerequisite and the material is hand-on from the go. Besides new lectures are being uploaded in response to suggestions and discussions." by Zafar Iqbal

Equipped with working files, network topologies and Python code samples (in .pdf and .py formats), 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 routers in GNS3 to test our Python apps in a network environment, so you can see the actual results of running your code.

I encourage you to learn Python, an amazingly beginner-friendly programming language and take your (networking) job to a higher level of automation.

What are the requirements?

You should have a great desire to learn programming and do it in a hands-on fashion, without having to watch countless lectures filled with slides and theory.
You should already be familiar with networking concepts like: Routing, SSH, Telnet, SNMP.
I will provide a fully configured virtual machine with all the necessary software (Python modules, MySQL, IDE). This way you can save time and start writing code as soon as possible.
I am going to use only free software throughout the course: Python 2.7, Linux, GNS3.
All you need is a decent PC/Laptop (2GHz CPU, 4GB RAM). You will get the rest from me.
