This Python course focuses on using Python for network automation and network DevOps.

The main goal of the course is to get participants working with Python and network automation as quickly as possible. Rather than concentrating on turning delegates into advanced software developers, the course focuses on practical use of network automation libraries such as netmiko and NAPALM, together with APIs and protocols such as NETCONF.

For this reason, the program places greater emphasis on automating configuration, collecting information from network devices, working with network APIs, and managing network operations than on advanced Object-Oriented Programming.

Hands-on sessions use Cisco and Juniper devices, giving participants practical experience in applying Python to real network administration tasks. The course helps network professionals save time by automating repetitive activities and improving operational efficiency.
