Additional information

What will you learn in Build 10 Network Applications with Python Course

Learn Python fundamentals and apply them directly to network automation use cases.
Develop ten real-world network tools—SSH config readers, subnet calculators, SNMP/LLDP monitors, rogue DHCP detectors, NMAP scripts, packet sniffers, and more.

Work with networking protocols like TCP/UDP, SSH, SNMP, and device discovery using Python.
Use libraries such as Paramiko, Netmiko (where applicable), and integrate networking tools via GNS3 or VirtualBox emulation.
