Let me just state that "I am a networking guy" I have been trying for a few years to become handy with bash shell scripts, but lately I have been looking at other alternatives like perl or python. I have had no classes in programming, but would like to learn enough to do some systems adminstration using either perl or python. Does anyone know of some good sites that take it from a beginner standpoint and use some good examples of using python for systems administration. I do understand concepts like "if, then, do while, etc.." from writing bash scripts, but I would just like to dive into it a bit more. Keep in mind, I hate programming, I'm bad at algebra (which sometimes I feel programming closely resembles), but for some reason I have a blast writing bash scripts for various tasks. Also, here in abbeville we are running a server for a ham radio activity called APRS and we can stream text data out to the radios, but it does this using perl and streams the data to a local UDP port. So part of me wants to learn either perl or learn how to stream data to a UDP port using python.
Anyone got any good links or books I should check out to help me get on track with one of these languages Thanks! Adam J.
