Course Overview

Python is not the only language being used for network automation but the combination of being an easy to learn language, and many code samples and utilities has made it a go-to language for network engineers.

Cisco have adopted Python as the preferred language for network engineers. The Cisco DevNet Associate exam tests experience with Python and other products i.e Meraki, Cisco ACI all expose an API with well documented Python scripting integration.

In this Python for network engineers Training , we will show in detail most of useful Python scripts network engineers can start using today. These are scripts that we make use on nearly a daily basis. By the end of this 2-month Training you will learn that network engineers and Python do go along!

Professional Networking: Why It Matters and How to Build Your Network

Have you ever contacted a former coworker for help finding a new job ? Attended a mixer at an industry conference? Posted a thorny work question on social media? If so, you’ve engaged in professional networking, which can play a critical role in helping you carve out a fulfilling career. 

What Is Professional Networking?

Professional networking is the ongoing practice of building and maintaining relationships with professionals in your specific industry and other related fields. 

Professional networking is the practice of seeking out and connecting with professionals in your industry or related fields, with the goal of building and maintaining relationships for support, sharing job opportunities and providing career updates.

Effective networks are relevant to your career and populated with people you trust. Your network should have some relevance to your career and be filled with those you trust: The key is quality, not quantity. Approach networking prepared to offer help as promptly as you receive it; members of healthy and effective networks depend on each other for honest feedback. 

Networks aren’t built overnight. Still, the time investment is worth it, as you’re building sources who will help you throughout your career .

Benefits of Professional Networking

If you’ve ever received an exciting job lead or reached out to a previous colleague for a reference that helped you land the job, you’ve felt the benefits of professional networking. Building a professional network is also a great way to get exposed to new ideas from peers working in your field. 

Why Is Professional Networking Important?

Professional networking helps professionals share job opportunities, knowledge and support with one another. Professionals can lean on their networks for references, industry insights and helpful advice.

1. Knowledge and Ideas 

 Professional networking is a key part of sharing knowledge within (and across) industries and getting exposure to new ideas. The simple act of sharing what you’ve learned in your job — or asking questions about the day-to-day of a friend’s job — can lead to meaningful conversations about how work can be done better and more efficiently. Even if it doesn’t lead to a new job right away, networking at least serves to make you a sharper professional within your current one.

2. Job Opportunities

Possibly the most important benefit of professional networking is job opportunities. When professionals share job postings from their company, tell a friend about a position that might interest them or ask for leads on their next role, there is the potential for referrals and introductions to hiring managers or recruiters. 

3. Advice and Support 

It may seem obvious, but professional networking can help you build a foundation of support to lean on throughout your career. The opportunity to discuss work challenges and ask for advice from your peers is a valuable part of networking — and helping someone with their work troubles may teach you something in the process too. 

7 Professional Networking Tips

Building your network can seem intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. It can be as simple as connecting with a coworker on LinkedIn or reaching out to an old colleague for coffee. If you’re new to the professional world or just looking for ways to expand your network, here are some tips to help you get started. 

How to Build a Professional Network

• Dedicate time to networking. 
• Help your peers advance their careers.
• Focus on quality connections. 
• Use social media to expand your network. 
• Join college alumni groups.  
• Maintain one-on-one relationships.
• Stay patient.

1. Dedicate Time to Professional Networking

“Most of us see the value in networking, along with all of the opportunities that come along with it,” Devin Schumacher, founder of digital marketing agency Serp , said.  To make networking part of your routine, Schumacher suggests setting aside a specific time to expand your professional circle. Having an exact time, say noon to 1 p.m. each Wednesday, keeps you accountable and ensures consistency in your networking approach. “If you set time aside to network every day, you’ll create new and exciting opportunities for your career to take shape,” he said. 

2. Help Your Peers 

Networking isn’t just about how people can help you; it’s about how you can help people. Wanting to provide value in her network in order to grow relationships is how Kristen Bolig, founder of SecurityNerd , started her business.

“I wanted to be of service to others,” Bolig said. “It makes a huge difference and networking becomes simpler when you’re thinking of the other person before yourself.” Putting other people first “comes back, often when you least expect it.”

When it comes to helping your peers, it’s best to start close to home. Resist the urge to reach out to top people in your field, instead focus on those in your immediate circle. This is what Nick Drewe, founder of Wethrift , an e-commerce platform, suggests. 

“They’re the ones who are going to grow with you in the industry and provide opportunities as you go along, the ones who will hire you or you may want to hire them, and the ones you can swap ideas with about all things tech,” Drew said. He also advises networking with people you like and with whom you have a natural rapport.

“They’re the ones who are going to grow with you in the industry and provide opportunities as you go along.”

Another big part of being successful in helping others with their career is genuinely being interested in those around you.

“Be authentic, care personally, and ask deep questions to understand each other’s strengths, weaknesses, professional and personal goals, and ways we can help each other,” Chris Ingate, enterprise account executive at logistics tech company Overhaul , said. 

“Showing vulnerability is a great strength,” he added. “Share personal details on your values, experience, current challenges and motivations.”

3. Choose Quality Connections Over Quantity

It can be tempting to have as many professional connections as possible, but this isn’t always the way to build a meaningful network. 

“People ask for a connection on LinkedIn well in advance of a strong relationship connection, and as a result your LinkedIn network is typically filled with people you don’t know that well,” Ryan Pitylak, CMO at ZenBusiness , said. 

If a colleague offers to introduce you to someone, accept the invitation, Pitylak added. That new contact might very well help you gain perspective on a situation or your career overall. These people, who are natural networkers, get satisfaction from making introductions that end up being mutually beneficial.

Pitylak also suggests keeping in contact with people who are in similar roles, even a rung or two up the ladder. “These people tend to have actionable knowledge about how to manage through your current problems and opportunities,” he said. 

Finally, keep in touch with people from your past, including former colleagues, clients and partners. “If you worked closely with them, they know you well and you’ve built up enough of a relationship that will justify a future call when you need some help.” 

4. Expand Your Network on Social Media

“Make yourself visible or people won’t know that you and your business exist,” Fred McGill Jr., CEO and founder of real-estate startup SimpleShowing , said. 

McGill seconds Bolig’s advice to share ideas, knowledge and expertise with those who need help. “You may not realize it quickly, but you’ll see that people will remember you later,” he said.

Producing thoughtful social media content is an important part of professional networking. It may take time for your content to gain traction, but consistency will eventually put your content in front of the right people.

“Cultivate opportunities for important discussions to take place between insightful individuals to build your professional network effectively,” Mark Hayes, head of marketing at Kintell , said. “You’ll be surprised at how many amazing people in your niche and industry that you’ll meet online.

5. Join a College Alumni Group

Don’t forget about the assets you may have from your education. A college alumni group can be an easy way to connect with professionals in your field or related jobs. 

“Starting conversations within the group is fairly easy because you share the same school,” Max Harland, CEO of Dentaly , said. “It offers ease of communication and an excellent way to build your professional network.” 

Harland recommends organizing regular events and meetings to keep the group close.

6. Focus on One-to-One Relationships

Although mixers and events are valuable to professional networking, don’t underestimate building one-to-one relationships. There are a couple of ways to do it.

“Research who’s active in your industry, what their approach to networking is and how you can best reach out,” Nate Tsang, founder and CEO of stock research platform Wall Street Zen , said. Research firms ahead of time, and if the person is a major influencer, buy and try their product or service to fuel a better conversation. 

You can also find out what other professionals in your field are reading and what groups they belong to, then join and participate in those discussions. “Build connections and keep lines of communication open by messaging them once a quarter,” Arthur Iinuma, co-founder and president of software development firm ISBX , said.

7. Remember That Professional Networking Is a Journey

“Growing your professional network does not come at once, and it certainly does not come easy,” Kristaps Brencans, CMO at marketing firm On The Map , said. Connecting with too many people too quickly comes off as “desperate, annoying and unprofessional, all of which will keep you from building strong business partners,” he added. The patient approach helps you find your niche, identify the exact people you want to connect with, and thus build an effective and long-lasting network. 

Once your network is built, “the rest is a natural progression,” Casey Renner, a partner at OpenView , said. Renner suggests going to your network for unbiased advice and an outside perspective on facing career challenges. A genuine network will let you know when they see a job that’s right for you. 

Finally, your network can help with career temperature checks. “This group of people are most likely not part of your company, so they can offer you an unbiased perspective,” Renner said. “It might not be what you want to hear, but isn’t that why you’ve built this group to begin with?”

Cooper’s journey from patient to paediatric nursing training

Hospital wasn’t just a place for medical care during Cooper’s childhood—it felt like a second home. It’s where she developed a passion for health advocacy that would later influence her career. 

Soon after she was born, Cooper was diagnosed with VACTERL, a chronic condition involving several congenital abnormalities and throughout her childhood, she was a frequent visitor to Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick (SCH).  

Cooper underwent 31 major surgeries as a patient at SCH, as well as countless medical procedures and admissions, and remembers several birthdays and Christmas days spent in hospital.  

While spending extended time in hospital is difficult for any child, Cooper says that many of her favourite childhood memories are attached to her time at SCH.  

“From Clown Doctors distracting me before a procedure, to playing in the Starlight Room, and the smiling faces that greeted me at Sunny’s Café, there are so many small encounters that positively impacted my time in hospital as a child,” Cooper said.  

“I distinctly remember how lovely every one of my nurses was, and how memorable they made my hospital experience. I always felt celebrated and loved and that’s shaped my desire to give back." 

Touched by the compassion of those who cared for her and driven by a desire to make a difference to others, Cooper’s personal experiences led her to pursue a career in nursing after completing high school.

Now a third-year nursing student at The University of Notre Dame, Cooper hopes her career will enable her to not only use her voice to advocate, but also to tangibly impact others’ lives through hands-on care at the bedside. 

Through her own lived experience, she also recognises the importance of visibility and representation in healthcare and hopes to empower other children in hospital who may be impacted by chronic illness and or/disability.  

“My personal journey has been a driving force behind my passion for paediatric care. For me, it’s not only about ensuring that everyone has equal and proper access to healthcare, but also that children can see someone else with lived experience and realise that life doesn’t end with diagnosis.  

“Lived experience is an amazing thing to share and the ability to empathise is such a valuable skill. I think it’s really important for children to be able to visualise where they could go in the future through visible representation of chronic illness and disability in the hospital.” 

While still completing her nursing degree, Cooper’s impact is already felt through her advocacy work with Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network (SCHN)’s Chronic Illness Peer Support (ChIPS) and Youth Council services, promoting positive change within health services to ensure young people receive the best care possible, and connecting them with a strong support network.  

Cooper was a founding member of Youth Council and is still an active member of the ChIPS Reference Committee (Refcom), which organises activities for peers and provides a meaningful space for young people with chronic illness and/or disability to make friends and build connections with others.  

She has advocated for more accessible and inclusive spaces for young people, for health care services to be designed for young people, and for a smoother transfer service from paediatric to adult health services. Cooper also co-led a project aiming to connect the siblings of young people with health needs and young carers to services supporting their wellbeing. 

With the 2024 theme for NSW Youth Week, ‘Express. Empower. Get Loud.’, stories like Cooper’s are a powerful testament to the impactful advocacy efforts of young people, for young people.

Base’s breakthrough: how coinbase’s layer-2 network surged to $4 billion in tvl, author: debashree patra debashree patra.

Fun-loving and cheerful, a passionate blockchain and crypto writer who knows no boundary…connect if you share the same passion. With 10+ years of writing experience, I am a Crypto Journalist by chance, exploring, and learning all the dynamics of the sci-fi action-filled crypto world. Currently, focusing on cryptocurrency news and price data. With a passion for research and challenging my capabilities, I am slowly getting into the crypto arena to bring new insights every day.

Base, Coinbase’s Layer-2 network, shocked the crypto market last week with a surge in its total value locked (TVL), exceeding $4 billion for the first time. Interestingly, This week it has become a significant contributor to the company’s profits, estimated at $26 million in net profit since its launch in July 2023. Base’s robust transaction volumes and fees, driven by project listings and high demand, have boosted its growth, with transactions comprising over 60% of all Ethereum activity in Q3 2023. 

Base’s Profitable Journey

According to the coinShares report , the surge in gas fees on Base due to high demand has led to strong earnings for Coinbase, with 85% of the profits going to Coinbase and 15% to competitor Optimism. This growth has positioned Base as a formidable player in the Layer-2 space, eating into the market share of competitors like Arbitrum and Optimism. VanEck analysts predict a $1 trillion market cap for layer-2 scaling ecosystems by 2030.

Coinbase plans to further innovate the Base platform by allowing users to store their USDC balance within the network, enhancing efficiency and security while reducing fees and settlement times.

Competition from OKX’s X Layer

However, Coinbase now faces new competition from OKX , which recently launched its Ethereum-based Layer-2 scaling network, X Layer.

X Layer, built using Polygon’s CDK and incorporating zero-knowledge proofs, offers users faster and more cost-effective transactions compared to Ethereum’s mainnet. With the introduction of X Layer, OKX enters direct competition with Coinbase’s Base, adding further dynamism to the Layer-2 ecosystem. 

In comparing Base with Layer X, one notable difference is Layer X’s integration of zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs into its architecture. This cryptographic feature allows for the verification of statements without disclosing the actual statements, a key aspect of Polygon’s updated design. This move underscores Polygon’s aim for improved interoperability among various blockchain networks.
