Almost every paragraph seems like useful information. Impressed. - I'm about 150 pages in to this book. I think the book is very straight to the point. Its name basically says it. Python, Linux, Automation in general, etc, are all being covered and the authors do a great job in keeping the examples and teachings directly geared towards networking. It's pretty easy to read in my opinion. Very well organized. Meant to be modular, meaning the authors state that you should be able to skip to chapters if you need to without having to rely on the previous chapters. What I'd recommend, before diving too heavily in to this book is to actually write a simple python program. Then when you go in to that chapter, it's like a lightning round. Also, if you've had very little or no Linux experience, please install it on something and play around. Follow along with the Linux chapter and solidify what he's teaching. After the Python chapter (#4), I would think you're most likely learning something new, requiring a bit of knowledge from the first 4 chapters. Review: Frankly, there's no better resource to start with. - I've been interested in upgrading my automation skills for a couple years now, but it is a pretty intimidating task, especially if you come from a traditional network engineering job with little scripting experience like me. This book covers so many topics that will get you up in running, from basic python, to making mass changes and config management with Ansible, even how to convince your boss this is the way you should stream things. Absolute MUST for any network engineer. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1491931256 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,493,344 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #63 in Intranets & Extranets #644 in Computer Networking (Books) #701 in Computer Network Administration | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (253) | | Dimensions | 7 x 1.5 x 9.5 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 9781491931257 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1491931257 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 581 pages | | Publication date | March 27, 2018 | | Publisher | O'Reilly Media | ## Images ![Network Programmability and Automation: Skills for the Next-Generation Network Engineer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91u2cg4-d8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely Well Organized.

This book covers so many topics that will get you up in running, from basic python, to making mass changes and config management with Ansible, even how to convince your boss this is the way you should stream things. Absolute MUST for any network engineer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book *by M***L on November 19, 2021* This is a great book that covers a lot of information useful for network engineers. I have been exposed to the topics this book covers over the past 3 years and it really does a good job explaining them. If you are a network engineer you probably already know that SDN is where Network Engineering is headed. If not then get this book and start learning. This book isn't the only book you need to read though, there are many but this is a great start. I gave this 4 stars because the screenshots used in the examples are poorly printed. You can barely see the image. I don't' care they are not in color, but they could have at least done a better job ensuring the images are viewable. ## Frequently Bought Together - Network Programmability and Automation: Skills for the Next-Generation Network Engineer - Network Warrior 2e --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/62414594-network-programmability-and-automation-skills-for-the-next-generation-network](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/62414594-network-programmability-and-automation-skills-for-the-next-generation-network) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
