This webinar takes a user from zero to learned hero using real world experience and demonstratable technology. Using off the shelf tools from well known companies along with DIY using Python, NETCONF and YANG background knowledge and real world how-to steps will be delivered over a two hour webinar. By the end the audience will understand the purpose of YANG, how NETCONF facilitates delivery of information built on the YANG model to network element and will have real world experience of both of these technologies in a multi-vendor environment.

About the webinar
- Not coherent, skips from topic to topic. Or maybe this is just how NETCONF is. A pile of disorganized hacks.

- Good introductory to Netconf + YANG.
There are several demos to get the basic idea. - Vladislav Atanasov
- An excellent webinar to grasp the concepts on Netconf and Yang
- Gabriel Sulbaran
- well worth watching, great coverage of both practical and theory.

- There was too much non-technical discussion in the talk. The content could have been more technically specific. Presenter was more focused in telling us what he thought about it than what the tools did technically. This is a technical forum and I was expecting that it would cover the topic technically in depth and not only in a general width. It was not worth the time or money. I had to go elsewhere to get the techinal details I was after.

- Content could use updating though, other new yang + netconf tooling has come out since the recording.

- I am not sure if I would want to continue with my subscription for the next year. I have subscriptions at other places which are more technically fulfilling.
