What you'll learn
⚡ Write Python that turns raw show command output into structured data you can filter, compare and report on.
⚡ Push configuration safely using a six-step pattern: snapshot, dry run, one device, verify, diff, then save.
⚡ Run jobs across a whole fleet concurrently, turning an eight-minute collection into a thirty-second one.
⚡ Handle credentials properly with environment variables, getpass and KeePass, so no password ever lives in your code.
⚡ Connect to network devices from Python with Paramiko, Netmiko and NAPALM across Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet and Arista.
⚡ Work with network APIs: requests, REST, RESTCONF and NETCONF, and choose the right transport for each task.
⚡ Generate configuration at scale with Jinja2 templates driven by YAML data, and audit compliance with set operations.
⚡ Build the scripts engineers actually run: configuration backup with change detection, daily health reports, pre- and post-change verification, and topology disc
Requirements
❗ Working knowledge of networking: IP addressing, VLANs, routing, and the command line of at least one platform.
❗ Comfortable opening an SSH session to a device and reading show command output
❗ A computer running Windows, macOS or Linux on which you can install software.
❗ No programming experience required. We install Python together in the first section.
❗ A text editor. We set up VS Code in Section 1, and it is free.
❗ Optional but useful: somewhere to practise. Free Cisco DevNet sandboxes are used throughout, and Containerlab, EVE-NG or GNS3 all work if you prefer your own lab.
Description
Most network engineers do not need to become software developers. They need to stop doing the same task two hundred times by hand.
This course takes you from no Python at all to writing automation you can run against production infrastructure. It is built from my book, Python for Network Engineers - From Zero to Automated Networks, and every example uses network dаta: show command output, interface counters, VLAN databases, inventory files, device configuration.
You start with the environment - installing Python, virtual environments, pip, VS Code and Git - because that is where most people give up before they have written a line of code. Then you learn the language itself, taught through network problems rather than generic tutorials: parsing show output with strings and regular expressions, structuring device data with lists and dictionaries, handling the errors a real fleet throws at you, and reading and writing CSV, JSON and YAML inventories.
From there you connect to devices. Paramiko first, so you understand what is happening underneath, then Netmiko, then pushing configuration with a six-step safety pattern that keeps a routine change from becoming an incident. Concurrency, so a fifty-device collection takes thirty seconds instead of eight minutes. Credentials handled properly, never hard-coded. Then the API layer: requests, RESTCONF, NETCONF, NAPALM, Nornir and pyATS, with a clear view of when each one is the right tool and when it is not.
The last two sections are the payoff. Jinja2 templating to generate configuration at scale from YAML data, then the scripts engineers actually run: configuration backup with change detection, daily health reports, pre- and post-change verification, topology discovery, IPAM and inventory reconciliation, notifications and scheduling. The course closes with using AI inside a network workflow safely, and packaging your work as a tested repository with continuous integration.
Every video lesson has a companion article with a full, heavily commented Python solution you can run. Exercises target free Cisco DevNet sandboxes and lab tools such as Containerlab, EVE-NG and GNS3, so you can practise against real devices without touching anything of your own.Please note that this course does not include demonstration video lessons. All practical work is carried out using written articles that provide step-by-step procedures.
I have spent my career in enterprise networking. This is the course I wish had existed when I started automating.

Who this course is for
⭐ Network engineers with no programming experience who want to stop repeating manual work.
⭐ CCNA, CCNP or equivalent-level engineers moving toward a network automation role.
⭐ NOC and operations staff who spend their day collecting the same data by hand.
⭐ Engineers who tried to learn Python from generic tutorials and lost interest because none of it looked like their job.
⭐ Scripters who can already automate a little and want the network-specific libraries, Netmiko, NAPALM, Nornir, NETCONF, in one structured place.
⭐ Team leads who need a common baseline for a team that is starting automation.
⭐ NOT FOR: Experienced Python developers looking for advanced language internals.
⭐ NOT FOR: Anyone with no networking background. This course assumes you know what a VLAN, an interface and an SSH session are.
