Regular expressions training course description Regular expressions are an extremely powerful tool for manipulating text and data. They are now standard features in a wide range of languages and popular tools, including Python and MySQL. Regular expressions allow you to code complex and subtle text processing that you never imagined could be automated. Once you've mastered regular expressions, they'll become an invaluable part of your toolkit. You will wonder how you ever got by without them. What will you learn Use Regular Expressions. Troubleshoot Regular Expressions. Compare RE features among different versions. Explain how the regular expression engine works. Optimize REs. Match what you want, not what you don't want. Regular expressions training course details Who will benefit: Anyone looking to use regular expressions. Prerequisites: None. Duration 1 day Regular expressions training course contents Introduction to Regular Expressions Solving real problems, REs as a language, the filename analogy, language analogy, RE frame of mind, searching text files: egrep, egrep metacharacters, start and end of the line, character classes, matching any character with dot, alternation, ignoring differences in capitalization, word boundaries, optional items, other quantifiers: repetition, parentheses and backreferences, the great escape, expanding the foundation, linguistic diversification, the goal of a RE, more examples, RE nomenclature, Improving on the status quo. Extended introductory examples A short introduction to Perl, matching text with regular expressions, toward a more real-world example, side effects of a successful match, Intertwined regular expression, intermission, modifying text with regular expressions, example: form letter, example: prettifying a stock price, automated editing, a small mail utility, adding commas to a number with lookaround, text-to-HTML conversion, that doubled-word thing.

The mechanics of expression processing Two kinds of engines, new standards, regex engine types, from the department of redundancy department, testing the engine type, match basics, about the examples, rule 1: the match that begins earliest wins, engine pieces and parts, rule 2: the standard quantifiers are greedy, regex-directed versus text-directed, NFA engine: regex-directed, DFA engine: text-directed, first thoughts: NFA and DFA in comparison, backtracking, two important points on backtracking, saved states, backtracking and greediness, more about greediness and backtracking, problems of greediness, multi-character 'quotes', lazy quantifiers, greediness and laziness, laziness and backtracking, possessive quantifiers and atomic grouping, possessive quantifiers ?, +, *+, ++ and {m,n}+, the backtracking of lookaround, is alternation greedy? taking advantage of ordered alternation, NFA DFA and posix, the longest-leftmost', posix and the longest-leftmost rule, speed and efficiency. Practical regex techniques Continuation lines, matching an IP address, working with filenames, matching balanced sets of parentheses, watching out for unwanted matches, matching delimited text, knowing your data and making assumptions, stripping leading and trailing whitespace, matching and HTML tag, matching an HTML link, examining an HTTP URL, validating a hostname, plucking a hostname, plucking a URL, parsing CSV files. Crafting an efficient expression Efficiency vs. correctness, localizing greediness, global view of backtracking, more work for POSIX NFA, work required during a non-match, being more specific, alternation can be expensive, benchmarking, know what you re measuring, benchmarking with Python, common optimisations, the mechanics of regex application, pre-application optimizations, optimizations with the transmission, optimization of the regex itself, techniques for faster expressions, common sense techniques, expose literal text, expose anchors, lazy versus greedy: be specific, split into multiple REs, mimic initial-character discrimination, use atomic grouping and possessive quantifiers, lead the engine to a match, unrolling the loop, observations, using atomic grouping and possessive quantifiers, short unrolling examples, unrolling C comments, the free flowing regex, a helping hand to guide the match, a well-guided regex is a fast regex.

This course bundle is ideal for anyone looking to establish their Cisco networking career. It consists of one Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification, and two Cisco Certified Networking Professional (CCNP) certifications. Although there are no formal prerequisites to enrol on the CCNA certification course and sit for the exam, learners should have a good foundation knowledge in networking. The newly retooled CCNA covers a breadth of topics, including: Network fundamentals Network access IP connectivity IP services Security fundamentals Automation and programmability Achieving CCNA certification is the first step in preparing for a career in networking technologies. To earn your CCNA certification, you only need to pass one exam – which covers a broad range of fundamentals for IT careers, based on the latest networking technologies. The CCNP is the next level from the CCNA. As with the CCNA, there are no formal prerequisites to enrol on the CCNP certification course and sit for the exams. Learners taking a CCNP course generally have an in-depth knowledge of networking, as well as a good understanding of Cisco technologies. The typical certification path for most learners would begin with the CCNA, then progress onto the CCNP. Learners need to pass two exams (one core exam and one concentration exam) in order to gain a CCNP certification. This course bundle includes both exams. The core exam’s focus is based around implementing and operating Cisco enterprise network core technologies. The concentration exam’s focus for this particular bundle is around designing Cisco enterprise networks.

The Microsoft Certified Associate is a new breed of Microsoft certification. It is referred to as a ‘role-based certification’. According to Microsoft, role-based certifications show that individuals that possess them are keeping pace with today’s technical roles and requirements. They allow a learner to skill up and prove their expertise to employers and peers, plus get the recognition and opportunities they’ve earned.
