An email a week for 10 weeks; the next course will start on Thursday, February, 12.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, I try to have most of the examples and exercises be 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 If you are interested, you can sign-up at https://pynet.twb-tech.com/email-signup.html
