Where do automators (/developers) write their code? In this video, I introduce you to the concept of a developer environment and walk you through installation of VS Code, the Python programming language, the VS Code extension for Python, and choosing your interpreter in VS Code. (The purpose of this video is exposure only, and we will revisit these topics later.) This is Lesson 1.1 in my free course "Learn To Code Using AI (For Network Engineers!)."

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Network engineers need automation skills, but learning to code is boring, time-consuming, and abstract. Right? ...In this YouTube course, I teach coding skills in the age of AI and ever-pressing cybersecurity threats, leveraging the many conversations and insights I gained as a former developer advocate at Cisco Systems. After all... the greatest barrier I've seen to automation outreach efforts is the blatant overlooking of the glaringly obvious: many network engineers just don't know how to code yet (or how to solve problems with code), and they don't have the right resources to get them there.

This course is not for showboating my skills; it's for practically addressing coding skills in a way that's not off-putting and leaves you eager to continue learning. Piggybacking off of DEVNET-2720, my most recent Cisco Live presentation, I've initially divided this course into 3 levels:

Level 1: Foundational skills (critical thinking skills) you NEED to know before using AI
Level 2: Guided AI use and instructions to drastically speed up your learning journey
Level 3: Guided code generation using AI coding assistants, including the do's and the don'ts
In a currently drafted and undisclosed Level 4, I'll start guiding you through more advanced content
