There are many courses on Python Programming and Network Automation or Network Programming with Python. Why should you learn from me?

I’m a Practitioner and an Enthusiast. Welcome to the real world! I have almost 20 years of experience as a Network Engineer and Programmer. Since I’ve started with Networking, Linux Systems, and Programming, I’ve been using or studying technology almost on a daily basis. I also have a bunch of Cisco certifications: CCNP Routing & Switching, CCNP Security, CCNP Service Provider, Cisco Certified Instructor, etc

I’m an Educator and I know how to make a Syllabus. For the last 10 years, I’ve trained thousands of people on Linux, Networking, Security, Ethical Hacking, or Programming.

You’ll learn not only Network Automation but also general Python Programming. After this course, you’ll MASTER all the Python 3 key concepts.
