CODING PRACTICE

• Coding is not new to Cisco. There have always been talented programmers for the IOS and for network applications.
• Writing simple code based on examples is easy.
• Writing complex code is difficult.
• Writing complex declarative CLI scripts is no easy task either.
• In the future a number of networkers will be writing code, if they like it.
• But even more networkers will run the code, and maybe adapt it.
