I have been "pushing" python away for a while now, this video made me feel so comfortable about python, that right after watch it, I am feeling I can do whatever python program I want, hahaha. Mr Wallace is simply extraordinary a extraordinary professional. Thank you !
As a guy who started and stopped learning Python numerous times, this video made me feel a lot comfortable. Thanks a lot, Kevin. Appreciate the effort you put in, and cheers to your teaching techniques.
Programming as taught via courses and text books leave a lot to be desired in terms of keeping people motivated. I think that is why some have taken to programing games because one gets direct feedback instead, as an example, looking at monotonous data on a monitor. Not to say game development should be the end result, but if it gets you to learning more about coding then all the better.
Few months I commented and asked questions of one of Kevin Wallace's videos , the video on TDM. I had a problem at work related to tickets with ISDN technologies. I more or less understood it but I had doubts which I asked in the comments not expecting a reply. Mr. Kevin Wallace did reply and again a couple of times with answers to my doubts. This made me move ahead in the company. More than just a good instructor he is also a very kind person and I sincerely wish him all the best . Please if you can purchase his courses . I believe in collaboration he is second to none.
Kevin: i have said this many times; you never fail me when it comes to something i need to learn but more importantly understand because you are the master when it comes to teaching man.
I actually got the CCNP complete video course by Kevin Wallace from Pearson, I know the course is aimed towards the old retired 3 CCNP exams but there are actually many subjects that are still the same. I got the course just because this guy really knows how to explain stuff in a very easy way. Best instructor hands down
I just took a decision to start learning Python. Kevin your CCNP material has been a great study companion. I love this short video intro on Python. You just watered my thirst for Python further... Thank you Kevin
Kevin, I didn't read down far enough. I see where you stated "Thanks! My "Network Programability Fundamentals" course, which has a module on Python programming, comes out in October". Great can't wait. I guess it will be posted on your website? Thanks and keep up the good work. Mike
kevin you know all the things which we need to know i was about to send you a mesg to put some light on python coz every employer is asking for that. you are the best. you rock
Wow. That was an excellent no nonsense intro to Python and programming in general. I love how you quickly get into showing it's application to networking. I taught myself the basics of C programming and I can see why Python is "eating the world" (as others have put it). Python is simple yet powerful and it is easy to understand. I have already purshased a video course on Python programming, but I would certainly be interested in seeing something from you that shows more real world applications of using this language in the networking arena.
Thanks so much Darrell! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Actually, I do have an entire course on using programming to perform configurations using Python. It's called "Fundamentals of Network Programability," and it's available for purchase here: www.kwtrain.com/offers/g3qaptrR I hope that helps, and I wish you the best in your studies.
wow!!, i'm currently doing ccna and i was watching your videos and this one came along i never thought programming could be this easy .....Next stop once i write my ccna Nice work Sir!
Thanks for the lesson. Prospective employers have been asking whether I have Python experience. This really removed the fear of learning it. I wonder what level of experience is good enough for employers as it applies to networking.
Dear Mr. Wallace you gave me the desire to start learning Python; I have tried many times and dropped. in concepti, Python looks so similar to other languages like Pascal or C++. I can't wait to see Python being used to configure stuff. Please, October seems so far!,can we have a book in which we can read those stuff. I will never thank you more! you are just great!
I studied programming in school before I found my way in networking, and this was an awesome refresher. Also, your CCNP videos helped me kill my Route exam last month. I look forward to the Python / programability series you mentioned in a reply to another comment.
Great video Kevin! This is the first intro video I actually watched all the way through without skipping around. Your instructions were clear and meaningful. I look forward to more videos!
am already a fan of your channel and subscribed to it. you make it sound so easy that it fills one with confidence. hands down best python introduction video I ever saw.
As always thank you so much for all your videos. I have been learning from you for many many years and you have helped me in my career so many times. I know you have a website that has some training and I plan to take some of your courses because you are one excellent teacher. I just want to thank you for helping us pound with persistent guys learn.
@@kwallaceccie Hi Kevin, do you have videos where you work with live command line on Cisco devices and look for compliance or matches ? (ACL, IP, access-group) thank you!
OK i don't know if this is just me thinking this way! but I'll say Mr Wallace, you owned it and explained very well enough, that made it easy to grasp. Great job done and hats off! Any road map for full blown video series of Python coding for Network Engrs in your plans?
Hello Kevin...thanks for the insightful tutorial. Could you draw up correlations or integrations from Python to JSON, and what common errors to look out for when migrating from python to json scripting for cisco ?
Kevin, thanks a lot for your video. I read one comment below and how I understand you'll want to release new videos of Python in the near future, so I've got a question. What real tasks in networking can we solve using the Python? Can you give us some examples? Thank you. P.S. And sorry for my grammar mistakes. I just recently start to learn English.
paython is way much easier than C# and JAVA.. yes i am a network engineer but paython command line is simple, example: python ----> print , C# ----> Console.WriteLine i am a ccnp certified & i need some programing skills but i feel sad that it's not JAVA or C# but only paython supports my networking career.
Kevin Wallace sir for leaning python it is necessary to learn before any programming language like c & c++ ... N I have completed my CCNA n passed my CCNA R&S how python language would benefit for me ..plz reply
Kevin, I want more.. :) Is there more Python videos or courses I can take? I looked on your website and didn't see any related to Python. I really like your method of showing python with examples. Showing IOS or API examples on real or virtual equipment would be great. Thanks Mike
Kevin Wallace sir for leaning python it is necessary to learn before any programming language like c & c++ ... N I have completed my CCNA n passed my CCNA R&S how python language would benefit for me ..plz reply
Hi Kevin, this is great information. Do you have a course available to purchase where we can also practice some of these network programmabillity using python?
Thanks very much! Yes, I have a complete "Fundamentals of Network Programmability" video course. You can check it out here: www.kwtrain.com/offers/g3qaptrR All the best in your studies.
Hi Kevin, im having trouble understanding SDN northbound API ( and API term generally). Is python actually that NORTHBOUND API, through which u make application (or complex policies) on top of SDN controller communicate with the controller (and through it to the switch) ? OR...is it python actually bridge between lets say Pyretic or Pox (which are based on pyhton language) and a controller Thank you.
Oh..thank you. I have come acroos veru usefull post about REST:.."REST is just software arhitecture style for EXPOSING resources.." Which is in some way definition of API interface. So, what makes possible to programm SDN network in higher level of apstraction, we need NORTHBOUND API (REST for example) to expose SDN controller resources, to higher level aplications (firewall, loadbalancer,learning switch implementation, and other complex policies), WHICH are made in higher-level programming language (python,..) (on which the actuall SDN controller is based on). :D Cheers and TNX!
Hi Kevin, I am having trouble with getting out of the interactive interpreter (26:00). When I type exit() and press enter as you do the program closes. It doesn't allow me to press idle3.6. Any thoughts?
I just noticed under Windows Explorer that there is another .EXE for IDLE that opens separately, I'm guessing going from the interpreter to the IDLE shell isn't possible in Windows like Kevin demonstrates in Mac.
>>> cos=5 >>> dscp=46 >>> if cos==5 and dscp==46: print("this is voice packet.") else: SyntaxError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level >>> cos=5 >>> dscp=46 >>> if cos==5 and dscp==46: print("this is voice packet.") else: SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> I tried with both scenarios above and I never get those ... 3 dots somehow and the program doesn't run am running it on windows machine with python 3.6 installed
