In this lesson you learn about error handling, including ways to report errors that won’t confuse end users.  You learn to replace PHP’s default error handling mechanism, and also how to use the Xdebug tool to monitor your web applications.

The first lesson helps viewers set up and ready to learn Python. Material covered includes installation, how/where to write Python source code, development environment, Python's interactive interpreter, etc., all of which culminates in the classic "Hello World!" example.

Before diving straight into Python, it's important to learn where Python has come from and where it is going. This lesson features a brief language backgrounder, what it's key advantages are, and most importantly, goes into some detail about Python's current transition to its next generation release, Python 3. The lesson concludes with both the expected "Hello World!" example as well as a demo of the core language fundamentals that are covered in the remainder of this LiveLessons video course.

True to its name, this lesson covers the basic language syntax rules: code structure, statements, delimitation, variables, assignment, plus rules and guidelines for identifier names. Of course, those are language independent aspects, but the latter part of the lesson focuses on Python-specifics such as keywords and built-in functions. It then concludes with three very important introductions: how to create and call functions, how to import functionality from other Python modules, and the raw_input() built-in function which can be used to obtain user input from the command-line.

The longest lesson in this LiveLessons video course features an in-depth look into Python's standard data types. It starts off with light fare such as Boolean values and the various operators and built-in functions that work with most Python types. This is followed by a comprehensive look at Python's numeric, sequence, and hashing types, as well as the operators and built-in functions and methods that apply to each of those types.

(Continued) The longest lesson in this LiveLessons video course features an in-depth look into Python's standard data types. It starts off with light fare such as Boolean values and the various operators and built-in functions that work with most Python types. This is followed by a comprehensive look at Python's numeric, sequence, and hashing types, as well as the operators and built-in functions and methods that apply to each of those types.

This is the first lesson of our LiveLessons video course that you can skip and come back to later. It goes into detail about Python's memory model and is strongly recommended viewing but may be too advanced for those who are just learning Python. Topics covered in this lesson include objects, references, and memory management. It also features a way of categorizing each of the standard types using various models to help you learn and understand them much better; then concludes several quizzes to test your comprehension.

It's back to the basics with this lesson, covering generic flow control using loops and conditionals. The lesson begins with a review of Python's syntax rules then covers Python's if statement then its for and while loops as well as auxiliary constructs, statements, and built-in functions.

In this lesson, we review what files -- including the standard files -- are and provide the context in which to think about files in Python. Material covered in this lesson includes the open() built-in function as well as file object methods; it then concludes with a brief discussion of other forms of persistent storage available for Python users.

Run-time exception handling may still seem "new" even though the concept has been around for a long time, but it is pretty much of a requirement of most modern-day programming languages. This lesson begins with a review of exceptions then discusses how to accomplish exception handling in Python. The latter part of the lesson covers other exception-related functionality featuring the else, finally, raise, and assert statements as well as how to create (and use) exception classes. The lesson concludes with what you CANNOT do with exceptions as well as a reminder that not all exceptions mean some error is involved... they can be just warnings or simple notification of loop termination.

Creating and calling functions were briefly introduced back in an earlier lesson, so the goal of this lesson is to fill in more of the gaps as well as introducing other features of functions and functional programming found in Python. In particular, a good amount of time is spent on features that focus on functions arguments/parameters, i.e., keyword arguments, default values, return values, calling convention applicability in Python, etc. The remainder of the lesson covers variable scope, namespaces, functional programmings, anonymous functions, variable arguments, and finally, argument grouping.

The final lesson can also be deferred by the viewer. Although Python is an object-oriented programming language, using OOP is not required to create a working application. Users can learn and use OOP when they are ready. This lesson is fairly comprehensive, starting with a general introduction to OOP then gradually bringing Python into the picture. The remainder of the lesson covers all the core OOP components of Python: classes, class attributes, instances, instance attributes, methods, subclasses and finally, multiple inheritance.

This lesson aims to give you an overview of what SQL Server is and the different flavors of SQL Server you may encounter. We will also cover the different components of SQL Server that are included in the product.

In order to manage all your SQL Servers, you first must find them. In this lesson, we will look at different places where you might find SQL Server in your environment. The goal is to provide you with more information about how SQL Server is used so that you can recognize situations where SQL Servers may be in use.

You will work with many tools in the process of managing SQL Servers, but none more so than the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). The goal of this lesson will be to orient you with SSMS and show you how it is used.

Continuing our look at tools, this lesson will introduce you to the Configuration Manager and how it is used to manage the settings of the various services.

A fantastic tool for analysis and troubleshooting is the Profiler. In this brief introduction we will show you the basics of Profiler and make sure you know how to get around with the tool.

If you’re developing database projects such as Integration Services packages or Reporting Services repots, you will use the Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS). This lesson will help you get familiar with the tool.

This lesson serves as the first of two lessons that will cover relational database basics. It is easier to manage SQL Server if you have at least a passing understanding of what databases are and how they are structured. In this lesson, we will focus on the foundation of databases, namely tables.

This lesson builds on the preceding by extending our discussion of relational databases. We will look at how the data in tables is joined through the concept of relationships.

This lesson provides you with some detail as to how SQL Server manages databases. We will look at the different files that make up a database and how they are managed.

Crucial to the operation of SQL Server and therefore crucial to your knowledge is the transaction log. This lesson aims to explain the workings of the transaction log and to give you an idea of how recovery models affect its use.

System databases are used by SQL Server to keep all its internal processes up and running. We will look at each system database and how each contributes to the function of SQL Server as a whole.

Often SQL Server is installed on a server with a few other applications running. In this lesson, we will look at the settings that control how SQL Server interacts with the server’s CPUs.

Just as important as the CPUs, memory also plays an enormous role for SQL Server. This lesson will show you the available memory settings and explain why you might need to make changes.

A crucial task when working with SQL Server is backing up the databases. This lesson will show you what you need to know to make sure you can backup your databases and protect yourself from data loss.

This lesson will be an introduction to SQL Server jobs. We will look specifically at how you can schedule routine maintenance such as backups in order to reduce the amount of manual work you need to put into managing SQL Server.

What good is backing up if you can’t restore your database in the event of a loss? This lesson will provide you with the information necessary to perform a database restore.

Restoring System databases is a little different than restoring user databases. In this lesson we will look at those differences and walk through the process of restoring system databases.\

Your first line of security is the login. This lesson will explain logins and show you how to create them and manage the permissions assigned to each login.

Users are separate from logins and control the access granted into individual databases. In this lesson, we will look at what users are and how they are managed.

Database roles are used to manage groups of users and assign the users permissions to do things in a database. This lesson aims to arm you with the information you need to manage database roles or even create your own.

This lesson will focus on a discussion of ownership chaining. This is an important concept in security and without fully understanding it, you may be handing out more permissions than your users need. We will talk specifically about what ownership changing is and look at some real-world examples.

This will be the first lesson where we look at Transact SQL or T-SQL. T-SQL is the language used to work with SQL Server data and objects. In this lesson, we look at Data Manipulation Language (DML), which is used to work with the data being stored in your database.

In order to create and modify objects in databases such as tables or views, you use Data Definition Language (DDL). In this lesson, we will look at the basics of DDL and how it is used.

In addition to structures such as tables, databases are also made up of programming structures that allow you to run T-SQL code. The most common of these structures are stored procedures. In this lesson, we will look at what stored procedures are, how they are created, and how you set up security on them.

This lesson will cover functions, another programming option in SQL Server databases.

This lesson will cover views. Views provide access to data without the need to access a table directly. We will look at what you need to know to use views effectively.

Triggers allow you to have bits of T-SQL run automatically in response to an event such as data being inserted into a table. This lesson will cover the different types of triggers and how you can use them in your databases.

With the release of SQL Server 2005, we were given the ability to use CLR code structures within SQL Server. This lesson will show you how this is accomplished and how you can make stored procedures, functions, or types in SQL Server that reference CLR code.

Indexing is a huge topic in the world of SQL Server. This lesson will provide you with the basics of what indexes are how SQL Server uses them to find data.

This lesson will build on the last by providing you with what you need to know about the different types of indexes. In addition, we will look at how each type of index is implemented.

This final indexing lesson will discuss a relatively new feature of SQL Server: included columns in indexes. We will look at what they are and how they are implemented in SQL Server.

We have looked at several security concepts and this lesson will bring these concepts together to help you make a real-world decision. We will look at the most common options for allowing applications access to SQL Server and the pros and cons of each.

This final lesson will be a discussion on creating abstraction layers. Abstraction layers have several uses and we will examine each as well as take a look at the problems that can arise when you don’t have an abstraction layer.

This lab covers several features that can be used to stabilize the loop-free Layer 2 switching topology. Root Guard, BPDU Guard, Loop Guard, and Unidirectional Link Detection are demonstrated.

This lab demonstrates how multiple switch interfaces can be bundled together into a single logical EtherChannel interface. EtherChannels can increase available bandwidth and redundancy.

This lab moves beyond Layer 2 switching to cover Layer 3 switching and routing.

In this lab, the Layer 3 interface used for multilayer switching is made more redundant for devices within an IP subnet. The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) is demonstrated by configuring multiple switches to work together and share a common gateway IP address.

This lab explores the Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) to provide robust gateway redundancy for devices within an IP subnet.

In this lab, the normal rules of Layer 2 VLANs are stretched to provide new forms of isolation by configuring Private VLANs.

This lab covers several types of ACLs that can be configured and applied within a switch to control or restrict traffic movement.

In this lab, the Port Security feature is leveraged to control access to switch interfaces.

This lab demonstrates DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic ARP Inspection, which all work to detect and mitigate attempts to spoof network information for malicious purposes.

This lab provides an overview of the many Quality of Service (QoS) features available on Catalyst switches. It also demonstrates how many of the features can be configured to identify and handle types of traffic according to QoS policies.

This lab explores how packets put into and taken out of queues at switch interfaces. It also looks at congestion avoidance methods that keep interface queues from becoming too congested.

In this lab, the Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN) family of features are demonstrated. By using one of the SPAN features, a switch can copy or mirror traffic from a source to a destination--either on the same switch or to a different switch. Monitored traffic is normally sent to an external network or protocol analyzer or to the Mini Protocol Analyzer, found within a switch itself.

This segment covers the basics of getting around in the MySQL interfaces, especially the command line and also MySQL Query Browser. Other aspects of the interfaces will be discussed throughout the content

This lab demonstrates how a new firewall can be configured for the first time. The command-line interface (CLI) is used while the computer is connected to the firewall console.

This lab shows how the firewall mode (transparent or routed) is set. Then a variety of firewall interfaces, both physical and logical, are configured.

In this lab, sources of routing information are configured. Static routes, default routes, standby ISPs, and the OSPF dynamic routing protocol are all demonstrated.

This lab shows how a firewall can be configured for remote management through Telnet, SSH, and ASDM sessions.

This lab demonstrates how a single physical firewall platform can be configured to run multiple instances of virtual firewalls or security contexts.

In this lab, two firewalls are configured as a failover pair. This enables them to operate in a redundant fashion, increasing their availability during a failure.

This lab demonstrates several different kinds of failures, triggering the failover operation presented in Lab 6. A “hitless” upgrade is also shown, in which the operating system of each firewall in a failover pair is upgraded without impacting the traffic passing through.

This lab shows examples of six different ways to configure address translation on a firewall.

In this lab, security policies are defined through access list configuration. Furthermore, access lists are configured in a more organized, compact fashion with object groups.

This lab demonstrates how additional interfaces can be added to a firewall, beyond the simple “inside” and “outside” interfaces.

In this lab, a firewall is configured to generate and send logging messages to a collection point. After they are collected, the messages can be analyzed, or they can become a record for an audit trail.

This lab demonstrates how the Modular Policy Framework (MPF) is used to define a policy that sets connection limits on UDP and TCP connections.

In this lab, the MPF is used to configure priority queuing policies that handle specific types of traffic more efficiently than other traffic. In addition, policing is used to limit the bandwidth used by certain types of traffic.

This lab shows how a firewall can be configured to change how it inspects traffic related to specific applications.

This lab demonstrates the Packet Tracer tool and how it can be used to verify a firewall’s configuration. A virtual packet is sent from one interface to another, with a graphical display showing what happens to the packet at each step along the way.

In this lab, a firewall is configured to capture traffic for further analysis. Both the CLI and ASDM are used to configure a capture session and to display the packets captured.
