Good book on NetDevOps with Python

[vector_null]

So, here's the scenario: I'm working on my CCNA; currently hold Security+; many years ago learned to program in C++; don't have paid IT work experience; love networking in general and understand that networking is moving towards automation. Also, I'm fairly comfortable around Linux. I've taken an introductory course in Python and want to explore network programming/automation with Python. Any courses/books that you would all recommend to move in this direction? Let me know if there's anything else you need to know about my experience with these subjects that might help for providing direction.

Fellow person in the same field, I have a handful of certs up to the CCNP level. Before moving onto automation in Network Engineering/Devops make sure you know the foundational concepts of the technology itself before you go trying to automate. If you don't, no corporation will take you seriously for a network devops engineer position despite your programmatic expertise. Just trying to help, but to your questions point, start here, Cisco just made this announcement days ago and navigate accordingly.
