Programming for Computer Network Administration – An Experience with Computer Science Students
Abstract
In this paper we report an experience on conception and execution of a programming course on computer network administration. This course is aimed at students of undergraduate technology courses in Computing related areas. Organized according to a flipped classroom approach, the course focused on solving practical problems by using the Python programming language. The results obtained evidence student's progress in automatising solutions for network equipment and user actions monitoring, log analysis, data synchronizing as well as automatic alerts issuing. The teaching materials and the dynamics of the course will be integrated into a guideline to aid other teachers of computer network affined courses.
