The slides at https://cisco.box.com/s/w8md1or60sdybd072m01xxz82rbuicpo are meant to serve as the basis for a series of labs.

1. Intro to OpenDaylight in which the user learns a bit about what OpenDaylight is, how it provides a platform for programmability, install it, configures it such that it supports dlux, netconf, restconf, etc., and explores the YANG UI. Optionally this could be done using a sandbox that has OpenDaylight image on it and user starts, configures and plays around with DLUX.

2. Intro to VPP, in which the user learns a bit about what VPP is, access a VM that VPP installed, plays with vppctl.

3. OpenDaylight with VPP and Honeycomb, using the same VM as in (2), enable Honeycomb as well, connect to its netconf port directly via ssh, connect to it using Postman, configure some stuff on VPP through it using Postman, add VPP to OpenDaylight using Postman, configured some stuff on VPP using Postman

4. VPP networking with OpenDaylight, this is not covered in the ppt, but use two VMs each with VPP and Honeycomb, connect them both to OpenDaylight and have OpenDaylight configure traffic to pass through them both

(2) and (3) could be combined into a single lab or broken up differently than described above. I am certainly open to suggestions and welcome your ideas as much as I welcome your help.

The labs that show up in the DCI track for programming fundamentals in are here:

https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/api-coding-basics

The name of that repo should be changed to something like intro-to-programming-devnet-express.

The lab on parsing JSON needs a slide deck to accompany it in classroom situations:

Title: Using Python to Parse JSON
Lab ID: intro-to-python-parsing-json
Found in Module: https://learninglabs.cisco.com/modules/fundamentals
Repo: https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/intro-to-programming

The above standalone version is not to be confused with the lab of the same title used by DevNet Express:
Title: Using Python to Parse JSON
Lab ID: python-parsing-json-1
Found In Module LM-1221: https://learninglabs.cisco.com/modules/devnet-express-python-xml-programming-basics
Repo: https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/intro-to-programming-devnet-express

1. Going to https://hub.docker.com/_/hello-world/ provides a website with details of the hello-world docker image. link is correct but hyperlink is wrong, will land to https://learninglabs.cisco.com/ when click.

2. You can find it once again at https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu/ - same issue

In one of examples,
"Cisco"[0:-1] output should be "Cisc" but not "Cisco"

I tested this on my Mac and found no issue but concerning about working on Windows.

In the beginning of LL, ....When you are done open a terminal in your laptop (Terminal or iTerm for Mac, command prompt or putty on Windows), ...... I don't think command prompt or putty will work nicely for this LL.
Maybe put some details in "How To Setup Your Own Computer", like a suggested terminal emulator for windows and anything that different from using Mac. I was trying to try it on my windows machine but for some reason I couldn't install Docker.
Just like to add a note here to show we treat Windows user equally :-)

PowerShell Cmdlets and Objects

Since we instruct user to use cisco/cisco in Sandbox and in Part I and don't really know the password word for "admin" , we should change this to "ssh [email protected]"

Review 2 learning labs on openDNS Umbrella These labs are in staging area:

• https://learninglabs.cisco.com:8867/lab/Cisco%20Umbrella%20100/step/1
• https://learninglabs.cisco.com:8867/lab/Cisco%20Umbrella%20101/step/1

Need to review:

• grammar
• procedures (are they accurate?)
• prerequisites

Contact Veer directly with feedback and questions.
Veer plans to take the labs live around Jan 15th, 2017.

The lab on parsing JSON need to be tested to make sure it works as a stand-alone lab outside of a DevNet Express event:

Test the standalone version

• Title: Using Python to Parse JSON
• Lab ID: intro-to-python-parsing-json
• Found in Module: https://learninglabs.cisco.com/modules/fundamentals
• Repo: https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/intro-to-programming

@armartirosyan wrote the above version based on the following version from the DevNet Express tracks.

Version used for DevNet Express

• Title: Using Python to Parse JSON
• Lab ID: python-parsing-json-1
• Found In Module LM-1221: https://learninglabs.cisco.com/modules/devnet-express-python-xml-programming-basics
• Repo: https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/intro-to-programming-devnet-express

The following lab is not appropriate for a general audience. It was written for the DevNet Express format:

Lab title: Mission: Post Messages on Spark with Python
Lab ID: 03-environment-03-mission
Found in module: https://learninglabs.cisco.com/modules/beginning-apis

The lab should be removed from the module.

In a DevNet Tiger Team Spark room, Joel Jose noted the following errors. Steps 2 and 6 need to be corrected. The source content is in the following repo:

https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/intro-to-programming

Test toolchain.... enter in Spark, appear in Git, assign to Marcos, appear in Pivotal... let's see!

And your Powerball number is..... #8

Let's please create a new learning lab based on the content of the first lab included in https://github.com/juliogomez/devops_learninglabs

Thanks,

I'm too busy to write 'anything'

The following labs are deprecated and should be removed:

• Coding 101 - REST API Basics With APIC-EM

  • Coding 101 - REST API Basics (Japanese)

• Coding 102: Calling REST APIs from Python

  • Coding 102: Calling REST APIs from Python (Japanese)

• Coding 201 - Parsing XML

• Coding 202 - Parsing JSON

• Coding 203: Getting Input from a User Using Python

• Coding 204: Reading data from a file using Python

• Coding 205: Writing data to a file using Python

• Coding 206: How to use the Python logging module

• Coding 207: Python - Putting it all together

Where appropriate the labs should be replaced by the newer Python primers and the REST API intro labs.

r.json() needs to change to resp.json() to work. This is apic-em-basic lab, step 2

The Spanish version of the labs found in the track Introduction To DevNet are being translated. These 21 labs need to be converted to markdown and published.

I wanted to let you know I’ll be adding contributing guidelines to each Learning Lab repository over the next week or two. I’ve been working on these with Charles Eckel as part of our overall DevNet contributor engagement efforts. You can read a copy of the contributing.md file – and please let me know any feedback you have. This will go into over 70 repositories in the CiscoDevNet organization.

Rewrite the labs and create a separate repo for code samples.

This needs to be done for labs in:

• Track: Intro to DevNet (https://learninglabs.cisco.com/tracks/devnet-beginner)
• Module: Intro to Coding Fundamentals

Currently, the labs point to code samples in DN Express repos. Those labs should have their own repos for sample code. This version of the labs should not refer to anything in the DevNet Express tracks.

There are many places in this lab, http://{APIC-EMController}/api/v1 should be "https://...."

Hey guys, this room is to just test out sending Sparks to a GitHub room

The following lab (on staging) has an error in it:

https://learninglabs.cisco.com:8867/tracks/devnet-beginner/fundamentals/intro-to-git/step/3

The title should say git pull not "Pull".

Trying one more new one!

Hey, I got a test issue for you. I want you to change blah blah on the lab: https://learninglabs.cisco.com/tracks/devnet-express-cloud-collab-it-pro/verify-setup-itp/collab-tools-rest-api-concepts-itp/step/1

Based on requirements discussed with @RuthCattell, the Python primer labs need accompanying slide decks.

The labs that were re-written are stored in the repo here:

https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/intro-to-programming/tree/master/labs

It would be nice to have slide decks for these labs so that they can be used for an event in the UK on February 22, 2018.

Needs full rewriting. Here's the old outline.
Step1: was:Python Data Types
Step2: was: Nested Data Types
Step3: was:Python Loops
Step4: was:Writing Your Own Python Functions

New outline for Python Primer 2:

1. What are Libraries and How to Use Them
2. Using pip to Install Libraries
3. Virtual Environments
4. Foundational Libraries (pretty print, sys, os, datetime)
5. Introduction to Objects
6. Data Structures (List Tuple Dict, Syntax)
7. Loops (Iterating through a dictionary)
8. Nested data (Inspecting type(), access, decomposing, chaining)
9. Functions
10. Variable Scope and Script execution/flow (main()
11. Basic Debugging

You can refer to Hank's decks for content.

whoooo hoooo! I won the powerball!

New topics:
What is REST? - Use for the HTTP protocol, REpresentational State Transfer
A Look Under the Hood at REST - URI (endpoints), resources, parameters, headers, auth, data
was:Overview of APIs
Some REST Examples - Deck of Cards API (http://deckofcardsapi.com/) and Spark API was:Step 1. Get Access To The Spark REST APIs (Change to show deck of cards example and then a Spark API example)
was:Step 2. What is a REST web service?
New topic: Payloads - JSON, XML
Getting Started with an API - Docs, Auth, Endpoints, Verbs, Parameters, Payloads
was:Step 3. The Anatomy of a REST API Request
REST API Tools - curl, Postman, Requests Python library, Swagger/OpenAPI for Dynamic API
