Roadmap to learning Software Defined Networking in 2018
Below, you can find a set of charts that need to be learn to master Software Defined Networking (SDN). I made this roadmap to help other and very open into suggestion.
When you want to learn SDN, you must master the programming. below is the images how you will learn the programming path.
You need to choose the language, im recommend python for you because mayne people use this language and its easy to learn. You need to master API & data flow between the API (JSON,XML).
You must learn all of this to better understanding about software defined networking.
Im recommend you to learn the IT Automation software like Ansible. Mastering the protocol netconf and some python modules to support automation.
Hybrid Software Defined Networking is focusing on NETCONF+YANG, Its better to understanding YANG Data Modeling and some tools like ncclient & yang-explorer.
Pure SDN its more about openflow, try to understanding the protocol before learn P4.
This roadmap is creating by me, its open to suggest. discuss with me in telegram @zufardhiyaulhaq or by creating issue in repository.
