Python Training Courses

In this series, we take a look at common formats for saving, reading, and shuffling data around such as Comma Separated Values (CSV), JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), YAML Ain't Markup Language (YAML), and eXtensible Markup Language (XML). If you want to know more about these data formats as well as how to interact with these different data representation using Python, then we will see you there!

When you are planning, creating, and managing networks, some of the tasks can be repetitive and time consuming. Scripting allows you to automate these tasks to allow for reproducibility, scaling to larger systems, and collaborating with others use versioning. In this series, we will see how to utilize Python to make your life as a networking professional a little easier. See you there.

In this series, we are going to take a look at programming using the Python programming language. If you have tried to start before and just spun your wheels, then you should give it a try again. The progression of this course follows the Practice Labs environment for the same certification so there are supplements to each of those labs. Some of the topics that we are going to cover are: using basic data types and assigning those to variables, learning operations that can be applied to each of the data types, collecting information into a list structure, iterating over lists using both for and while loops, adding logic to our programs to add capabilities to our programs, and much more. We hope to see you there!

In this series, Vonne and Justin explore the intricate world of Object-Oriented Programming(OOP), particularly in the context of the Python programming language. Starting with the basics of OOP, Justin demonstrates the creation of classes and associated objects from those classes. Moreover, Justin demonstrates the use of Inheritance of classes to reduce code repetitiveness in an effort to adhere to the Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle. Lastly, Justin builds a simple OOP centric text-based adventure. If you are ready to get into Object-Oriented Python, then join us!

Have you wanted to see what this programming thing is all about? Do you have issues figuring out where to start? Well, this course will show you how to get things set up and start with the basics of programming using the Python programming language. If you want to set up your machine, understand the basics of Python, and start understanding the basic tenets of programming, then please join us!

Python has a set of protocols that the language internally adhere to which provides the functionality for features such as iteration, context manager behavior, string representation of an object, and many other things. When you create custom classes in Python and make use of these protocols then you can create custom behavior in the context of iterations, types, comparison of objects, operator overloading, and much more. Knowing about these will help level up your Python skills. If you are ready to progress forward in your Python prowess, then join us to learn more about the Python data model.

In this series, Daniel and Justin walk you through an in-depth primer on the Python programming language. Whether you have some other programming experience or you are completely new to coding, you will be given the tools necessary to get started writing programs with Python. They cover topics like printing output to the screen, assigning and utilizing variables, getting input from the user, decision making, iteration/loops, creating lists, dictionaries, and tuples, using and creating functions, slicing, and more. If you're looking for an easy programming language to get started, or you want to add another language to your repertoire, Python is a great choice.

Python is a great language for learning, writing web applications, and manipulating data. However, Python can be used for security testing as well. In this series, we will explore the use of Python in such concepts as brute force password cracking, making SSH connections programmatically, creating socket connections and port scanner a particular host, banner grabbing from open ports, and more. If that sounds interesting to you, then please join us!

A staple of programming is manipulating data, particularly data saved in files. In this series, we will explore the facilities that Python provides for reading and writing files. If you want to get going with file-based fun, then we will see you there.

Part of the power of Python is the array of tools that come built into the language, known as the Python Standard Library. In this series, we take a look at the Standard Library, import from the Standard Library, as well as take a view of some of the more common modules, or parts, of the Standard Library. If you want to dive a little deeper, then we will see you there.

In this series, we will explore the use of community code, or code written by others that to solve a particular problem or provide a particular functionality. We will explore how you can obtain these created solutions to increase your problem solving speed. In order to do so, we will explore the use of tools like pip, pipenv, and conda which are solutions to the fetching and managing of outside dependency requirements. If you are looking to solve bigger and bigger problems or just explore something of interest, then you will need help from others. Want to learn more? Join us as we dive in to the wonderful world of Python!
