About this blog
The primary reason I set out to make this blog, was to make a repository for all of my new discoveries while learning the nuances of coding for networking. Since the language of choice for most network engineers in the field is Python, I decided very early on to make my studies very python centric. Now having learned all of my early stuff in python version 2.7 ..lately I have been very hardcore about writing all of my code to be python 3 compliant, so as to not be left behind. The deprecation of python 2 and lack of further support was announced to be the end of the year in 2019, so that is probably a good move.
Some of the goals I have in posts for this site:
- Give specific insights on publishing webpages with Python tools (like this site)...(even though it is not network specific).
- Give tons of tips on network device management with python.
- Give overviews of particular modules that can be leveraged for things with code.
- Give some specific examples of data collection that all engineers are required to get at one point or another, and leverage code to make it not only quicker, but duplicatable.
- Show how coding can be fun!
