Python 3 Scripting for System Administrators
Overview:
“In this course, you will develop the skills that you need to write effective and powerful scripts and tools using Python 3. We will go through the necessary features of the Python language to be able to leverage its additional benefits in writing Python scripts and creating command line tools (Python data types, Python loops, Python conditionals, Python functions, Python error handling, and more). Beyond the language itself, you will go through the full development process including project set up, planning, and Python automated testing to build two different command line tools.
