We've looked at some of these principles within Cisco DNA Center and vManage, already. APIs allow us to automate repetitive tasks and save time. When it comes to programming languages, Python is considered the frontrunner for those you should learn first, particularly when it comes to SDN. While this exam doesn't require an in-depth knowledge of Python, you should have some familiarity with the syntax, and we'll examine that momentarily. Before we do that, if you're interested in a deeper dive with Python, I would point you to a few resources for that. First is the Python Tutorial provided by the official Python site at…
