He mentions Python - is that the programming language to know for
server automation?
I think Python 3 is the language for *everybody* to know. It's easy
enough that most people know it, it's got a standard library so
complete that you can do almost anything with just Python 3 and its
standard library. And when you need something special, there's plenty
of that too.
Nowadays, I wouldn't be caught in any profession not knowing Python. I
bet carpenters, Uber drivers, lawyers and network admins of all stripe
can gain from it.
Interesting perspective. I'm a PHP developer... Do I really need to
learn another language?
What kinds of things do you see that need to be automated?
I see all kinds of stuff in PHP. Plesk and ISPConfig. I was contacted
by a guy who was running two metal manufacturing businesses about his
PHP/MySql system that runs both manufacturing plants. Interestingly
enough he was running it on shared hosting.
I'm very interested in your thoughts on why Python and what might be
automated on a web hosting server(s), network, etc.
Thanks!!
