Packt Mastering Python Networking - Fourth Edition: Utilize Python packages and frameworks for network automation, monitoring, cloud, and management

If you're looking to get the foundation and basic structure of python so that you can learn your way into tensorflow and start running epochs on your softmax three layer neural networks, you got to get into the groove somehow and even if you're not a computer person and you're like me who's tossed Pig bellies down a pork assembly line for years, you'll find this book grants you the basic access to python syntax while paying close attention to the scope of function and implementing callbacks while learning how to assemble.json objects organize a raise, cut them subtract from them add to them and so on. I'm going to like my new job as a software engineer the guys at the slaughterhouse are going to be jealous as heck when I start banging my face on those keys and making money come out. Pigbellies going down the shoot, going to train retrain and install Transformers to model large language samples and pay special attention to something called self attention. That's what's going to bring in the money for a new pickup truck and a donkey. When you start talking about self-attention and attention heads you start looking at the interrelationships between words as a matrices that helps computers crack what we call intelligent speech or sentient reasoning with language. I wonder when they'll be able to do that with bacon.

Eric's approach is so diligent that you can easily digest the topics, that are being represented. I totally recommend this book both to novice and experienced Network engineers, with or without prior experience in Python

A must have for anyone interested in DevOps from a network engineering perspective.

Finally I got it, now let get starter

Overall it is a pretty good book that covers a lot of different networking use cases. I didn't give it five stars because it seemed to use vendor proprietary techniques versus using open standards. For example the section on LLDP could have used SNMP tables to retrieve the data in a vendor agnostic way. That alone would have shown an example of collecting table data (with rows and columns) from SNMP which is very useful to network administration. I am not faulting the author's lab setups, which in themselves are very useful. I just don't agree with using a vendor specific method of gathering information when a non-vendor specific method is available. I think that using non-vendor specific methods prevent having to re-write software when a new piece of equipment is added to the network. Other than that, I thought the book was useful and informative.
