general/opinion post

I recently got a CML 2.2 personal license and get back to work on Network Automation and to prepare for my upcoming DevNet certification. Today I'll like to write about my first impressions and experiences with CML including a first step to automate the lab setup using the API.

Within last months I moved my blog page to a static site generator. There are also some changes to the blog in general (from a style and content perspective).

With this post, I’ll like to share with you my thoughts, why programming may be relevant for network engineers and why I named it as the first learning area for network programmability and automation in my “how to start” post.

With this first article, I will explain how I started learning about the topics network programmability and automation. For me, it was one of the most difficult question, because there are a lot of information out there and no direct guideline, how to get started.
