Yes, arguably there are many other tools available to use to automate the network without writing any code. It is also true that when code is absolutely necessary, in most companies software developers will write the code for the network engineers. However, networks are getting progressively more sophisticated and the ability for network engineers to keep up with the rate of change, scale of networks, and processing of requirements is becoming more of a challenge with traditional methodologies.

Does that mean that all network engineers have to become programmers in the future? Not completely, but having certain tools in your tool belt may be the deciding factor in new or greater career opportunities. The fact is that current changes in the industry will require Cisco engineers to become proficient in programming, and the most common programming language for this new environment is the Python programming language. Already there are more opportunities for those who can understand programming and can also apply it to traditional networking practices.

Cisco’s current job boards include a search for a Sr. Network Test Engineer and for several Network Consulting Engineers, each with "competitive knowledge" desired Python and Perl skills. Without a doubt, the most efficient network engineers in the future will be the ones who will be able to script their automated network-related tasks, create their own services directly in the network, and continuously modify their scripts.

Whether you are forced to attend or are genuinely interested in workshops or courses that cover the importance of learning topics related to programmable networks such as Python, the learning curve at the very least will provide you with an understanding of Python scripts and the ability to be able to use them instead of the CLI commands and the copy and paste options commonly used. Those that plan to cling to their CLI will soon find themselves obsolete.

As with anything new, learning a programming language and using new APIs for automation will require engineers to learn and master the skills before deploying widely across their network. The burning question is where to start and which steps to take next?

In How Do I Get Started Learning Network Programmability? Hank Preston – on the Cisco blog page suggest a three phase approach to diving into network programmability.

“Phase 1: Programming Basics

In this first phase you need to build a basic foundation in the programmability skills, topics, and technologies that will be instrumental in being successful in this journey. This includes learning basic programming skills like variables, operations, conditionals, loops, etc. And there really is no better language for network engineers to leverage today than Python. Along with Python, you should explore APIs (particularly REST APIs), data formats like JSON, XML, and YAML. And if you don’t have one already, sign up for a GitHub account and learn how to clone, pull, and push to repos.

Phase 2: Platform Topics

Once you have the programming fundamentals squared away (or at least working on squaring them away) the time comes to explore the new platforms of Linux, Docker, and “the Cloud.” As applications are moving from x86 virtualization to micro services, and now serverless, the networks you build will be extending into these new areas and outside of traditional physical network boxes. And before you can intelligently design or engineer the networks for those environments, you need to understand how they basically work. The goal isn’t to become a big bushy beard wearing Unix admin, but rather to become comfortable working in these areas.

Phase 3: Networking for Today and Tomorrow

Now you are ready to explore the details of networking in these new environments. In phase three you will dive deep into Linux, container/Docker, cloud, and micro service networking. You have built the foundation of knowledge needed to take a hard look at how networking works inside these new environments. Explore all the new technologies, software, and strategies for implementing and segmenting critical applications in the “cloud native” age and add value to the application projects.”

Community resources:

GitHub’s, PYPL Popularity of Programming Language lists Python as having grown 13.2% in demand in the last 5 years.

Python in the June 2018 TIOBE Index ranks as the fourth most popular language behind Java, C and C++.

Despite the learning curve, having Python in your tool belt is without a question a must have tool.

5 Disruptive Technologies for the Enterprise: What are the Implications?

Disruptive technologies such as hand-held devices, cloud computing and social media are rattling the foundations upon which traditional businesses are built. Enterprise customers have grown smarter at ensuring the latest technological trends work in their favor. Everyone is trying to zero in on their core competencies by employing commodity services to run their business.

Likewise, enterprise application vendors need to zero in on their core competencies and enhance more value to the businesses of their clientele by leveraging standards-based commodity services, such as IaaS and PaaS, provided by leaders in those segments (e.g. Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform etc.).

What else enterprises need to do is learn to adopt new and emerging technologies such as cloud, utility and social computing to build on them to penetrate new market avenues.

New small and medium-sized entrants into the market are constantly challenging enterprises given their ability to rapidly turnaround and address the requirements of the customers in a cost-effective manner. Additionally, these new advancements also affect how enterprises create, deploy, and manage solutions and applications. If you take the example of Force.com, for instance, you find that it’s a common war zone for enterprise application vendors to furnish SME markets with their applications, with the new entrants mostly having an edge.

What is Visual Studio .NET?

Tags:

Visual Studio .NET is one of many tools available at your disposal for web development. But where some programs may focus on HTML coding or graphics, Visual Studio .NET is a complete tool set that can be used to not only create XML web services and ASP web applications, but desktop and mobile applications as well. So what are some features that are included in the latest release?

· Visual J#. This is most well-known by developers who are well-versed in the language of Java. It is best used when building services via the .NET framework, or when building applications.

· Smart Device Applications. This enables you to generate, repair, and install applications that can be used on smart phones, PDAs, and other devices.

· ASP.NET Mobile Design. Allows for building web applications for not only PDAs and mobile phones, but pagers as well. This also allows a designer to manipulate the mobile Web form of an application.

.NET Core 3 Release, Major Benefits

[Mar, 26, 2019] |
Tags:

On March 6 of this year, Microsoft's .NET Foundation released its third preview release of .NET Core 3 — which is its free and open-source framework for developing apps on Windows, MacOS and Linux — with an official release scheduled for later this year. This release brings a wealth of new features and enhancements. This includes the following:

1. Windows Desktop Support

One of the biggest additions to version 3.0 of the framework is the ability to develop Windows desktop applications. The new Windows Desktop component lets you build applications using either the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) graphical subsystem or the Windows Forms graphical class library. You can also use Windows UI XAML Library (WinUI) controls in your applications.

The Windows Desktop component is only supported and included on Windows installs.

2. Support for C# 8

The new framework has support for C# 8, which includes not only the ability to create asynchronous steams but features such as:

Index and Range data types

Using declarations

Switch expressions

The Index and Range data types make array manipulation easier, while Using declarations ensure that your objects get disposed once they are out of scope. Finally, Switch expressions extend Switch statements by allowing you to return a value.

3. IEEE Floating-Point Improvements

The new framework includes floating point APIs that comply with IEEE 754-2008. This includes fixes to both formatting and parsing as well as new Math APIs such as:

BitIncrement/BitDecrement

MaxMagnitude/MinMagnitude

ILogB

ScaleB

Log2

FusedMultiplyAdd

CopySign

4. Support for Performance-Oriented CPU Instructions

The new framework includes support for both SIMD and Bit Manipulation instruction sets, which can create significant performance boosts in certain situations, such as when you are processing data in parallel.

5. Default Executables

With the new framework, you can now produce framework-dependent executables by default without having to use self-contained deployments.

6. Local dotnet Tools

In the previous version of the framework, there was support for global dotnet tools. But the current version adds support for local tools as well. These tools are associated with a specific disk location, and this allows you to enable per-repository and per-project tooling.

7. Support for MSIX Deployments

The new framework supports MSIX, which is a Windows app package format that you can use when deploying Windows desktop applications.

8. Built-In and Fast JSON Support

In prior versions of the framework, you had to use Json.NET if you wanted JSON support in your application. The framework, though, now has built-in support that is not only fast but also has low allocation requirements. It also adds 3 new JSON types, which include:

Utf8JsonReader

Utf8JsonWriter

JsonDocument

9. Cryptography Support

The new framework supports AES-GCM and AES-CCM ciphers. It also supports the importing and exporting of asymmetric public and private keys from a variety of formats without the need of an X.509 certificate.

Platform Support

.NET Core 3 supports the following operating systems:

Alpine: 3.8+

Debian: 9+

Fedora: 26+

macOS: 10.12+

openSUSE: 42.3+

RHEL: 6+

SLES: 12+

Ubuntu: 16.04+

Windows Clients: 7, 8.1, 10 (1607+)

Windows Servers: 2012 R2 SP1+

The framework further supports the following chips:

x64 (Windows, macOS and Linux)

x86 (Windows)

ARM32 (Windows and Linux)

ARM64 (Linux)
