Automation for Network Engineers
Using Python and Jinja2: Transform Your Career with Practical Automation Skills

The Automation Revolution Starts Here
While other engineers are stuck doing repetitive manual tasks, you'll be automating entire network workflows. This isn't just another coding book—it's your gateway to becoming the engineer everyone needs and wants to work with.
The Manual Task Trap
Every day you spend on repetitive tasks is a day you're not growing your career
Time Wasted on Repetition
Hours spent on configuration updates, health checks, and report generation—tasks that could be automated in minutes but take days of manual work.
Burnout from Boring Work
The most talented engineers are leaving networking because they're stuck doing mindless, repetitive tasks instead of solving interesting problems.
Career Growth Stagnation
While automation-skilled engineers are getting promoted and commanding higher salaries, manual-task engineers are being left behind.
