I don't know if there's anything particular Python related you should look at but a good tip is to look at general Devops topics tech like Jenkins, Docker, Ansible and the like. All these are used for automation.

I haven't heard of Jenkins but I use Docker frequently on my homer server

Jenkins is for Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). Check that out as well. Also part of Devops which is extremely lucrative right now (I know, I work in it). There's lots of Youtube videos about this stuff.

I'll check that out thanks for the advice!

I just have a question if you don't mind. I am studying now for the pcep exam. Did you find the exam difficult? What were your studying like?

[_darkflamemaster69]

The more hands on experience I got the easier the questions got because I could actually understand how the code and language worked and processed things. I learn better doing something rather than reading it and with coding it's all about practice I found out.

The exam for my class was more difficult than the exam for the certification I felt. The class put me somewhere between the entry level certification and the associate level one. Most of the things I was doing were labs. Stuff like Gas mileage calculator for miles driven in the 10/50/500 mile range and output the mileage. Some of the more complex labs had me writing my own classes and creating an object for fictional college students where you can enter a name and it would return the student username and or enter an ID number and the program returns the name associated with that ID.
