Red Hat Training Presents: Introduction to Python Programming (AD141)

We are pleased to announce the release of Red Hat Training Presents: Introduction to Python Programming (AD141). Python is a popular programming language used by system administrators, data scientists, and developers to create web applications, custom Red Hat Ansible Automation modules, perform statistical analysis, and train AI/ML models. This course introduces the Python language and teaches fundamental concepts like control flow, loops, data structures, functions, file I/O, regular expressions, parsing JSON, and debugging. 

AD141 is the first course in a new “Red Hat Training Presents” series. This series features introductory training material for the base skills required to be successful with Red Hat products. Courses are available as either a value-add to RHLS or an instructor-led onsite training.

For now it will only be available as a value add to RHLS and for use in custom deliveries. We are working on ways to deliver it in all modalities.

With a very important tool like Ansible being written in Python,
and a great many of the Ansible modules written in Python, it
would be very beneficial for someone who will study and/or
work with Ansible, to acquire some Python knowledge and skills.  

Since Ansible is written in Python, it would come as no surpirse
that Ansible inherits more than a few things from Python.  One 
of the benefits I found fron knowing Python, when working with
Ansible, has to do with variables.  Two variable data types that
are impossible to get away from in Ansible are "lists" and "dictionaries".
Having a good understanding of those 2 data types in Python
allowed me to concentrate on their syntax in Ansible, and not
having to digest the concept and the syntax at the same time.
For me, that would have produced indigestion!

Developing Python knowledge and skiills goes well beyond working
with Ansible.  Again, I reference Ansible because of it's traction
(i.e. popularity) in the world of automation. However, even if you never
look in the direction of doing anything with Ansible, you'll serve yourself
well, in your IT career/profession, by delving into this programming
language.

About the Author
I first touched a PC in 1984. I really got hooked when I saw that I could actually send messages to another computer by connecting to the telephone line via this device called a modem. This truly fascinated me. My next fascination was writing programs, using a language called "Basic". I'm sure one of the reasons I was so fascinated with writing programs on the PC was because the only programming I had done was using Fortran, via the keypunch machine, and submitting a stack of cards to the batch operator. My how the technology has advanced since then. I don't recall the year I began my journey with UNIX, but I do recall that it was on an AT&T 3B15 minicomputer. All I ever saw was a dumb (kinda like me about UNIX at the time) terminal. From there, I graduated to Sun Microsystems offerings of UNIX - SunOS and Solaris. Yeah, I was a certified SCSA and SCNA. I worked hard for those certifications. I was so proud. I carried the flag for Sun back then, like I carry the flag for Red Hat now. I've also used IBM's AIX brand of UNIX, and HP's HP-UX brand of UNIX. I don't recall the first Linux I got my hands on, nor am I sure of the year I took the plunge. I do have some CDs with Red Hat Linux 4 on them. Well, I've always been one to hitch my wagon to the leader of a particular technology. In the world of Linux, I think it's safe to say that Red Hat is the undisputed king of that world. When Red Hat introduced their Red Hat Academy, I made a mad dash to get on board. However, the cost was just a little bit prohibitive for my institution's budget. Still, I never took my eye off of using Red Hat Linux, or becoming a Red Hat Academy. When I discovered that the cost to become a Red Hat Academy had been removed, I went into high gear to establish the partnership. I've been proudly associated with the Red Hat Academy now for...I forget. One thing I haven't forgotten, is that I'm a self-appointed, self-anointed evangelist for this program. The learning opportunities, along with the support the Red Hat Academy provides to students and instructors is exceptional!
