Python 3 Scripting for System Administrators

In this course, you will develop the skills 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 scripts and creating command line tools (data types, loops, conditionals, functions, error handling, and more). Beyond the language itself, you will go through the full development process including project setup, planning, and automated testing to build two different command line tools.
