@TPHewitt The GPT is trained on two resources I’m using.

It feeds me exercises I try to complete on my own.

Demolished dinner & it’s time for dessert as the World Series plays in the background.

Made a GPT tailored to my network automation journey giving me exercises based on where I am in the books. Gives me hints as I request it. The GPT analyzes my code and gives me ways to improve

@SoaferEmilia Thanks!

Just finished up the live stream for Zero to Network Automation. My Network Barkitect judged me the whole way through.

Don’t waste 30+ minutes chasing client data for a Wi-Fi issue.

Here’s how you can troubleshoot faster with live metrics that auto-update in a single dashboard.

No extra systems required.

Could your IT team use this kind of dashboard?

[Rowell @rowelldionicio]

I’ve been trying to relate what I’m learning with Python to networking.

It’s starting to catch on.

Meanwhile, kept the Blue Jays game in the background.

My Network Barkitect slept through it all.

@j_p_catanzaro I’m combining this with Mastering Python Networking. Created my own study plan using both books. Reason for me being public with it is to keep myself accountable. Hopefully it works. I’m about 4 chapters and lessons in.

[Rowell @rowelldionicio]

This book has been tagging along wherever I go.

Not because I’m hoping the knowledge transfers magically to my mind.

If I have any spare time to crack it open I’ll do it.

5 Conference Tips that People Miss..

Made my way to WLAN Professionals in Prague 🇨🇿

It's a long trip coming from California 🇺🇸

Can't let a conference ticket go to waste.

@mistermultipath @WesPur We were waiting for breakfast and mimosas 😂

What does the future of the Wireless Controller look like?

The shift is clear: move to cloud-managed.

But then we see hybrid solutions come out such as the Meraki MG and Mist Edge.

And then there's the adoption of APIs and AI into Wi-Fi management.

Starting my network automation journey.

Went live on Saturday to lay out my plan from knowing nothing to automating networks in 12 months. Is it doable?

You can find the live recording here: https://t.co/kGCP8Dxv3y

[Rowell @rowelldionicio]

I’ll be going live today talking through a plan I put together for learning Python.

The goal is to make it to network automation.

I was inspired by my daughter who asked me if I could teach her how to code.

I’ll start at 9am PT.

A "Wi-Fi problem" caused Meta's live demos of their new Ray-Ban glasses to fail. Later, it was revealed to be an accidental DDoS Meta created on their own development servers, which the live demo ran on!

👉 When was the last time Wi-Fi got blamed in your world?

[Rowell @rowelldionicio]

Would you build a skyscraper without blueprints? 🏗️
Then why roll out Wi-Fi without a design?

Skipping design is the #1 mistake IT teams make—leading to coverage gaps, interference, and endless tickets.

Juniper Networks expanded their Wi-Fi 7 lineup with three new access points and a Mist Edge

AP36 - flexible antenna options (internal, external, integrated directional

AP37 - 4x4 on 5/6 GHz, 2x2 on 2.4 GHz, vBLE

AP66 - ruggedized, 2x2 radios, internal/external antennas

Vendors: They’ll lose their minds when they see us on the magic quadrant.
