My Python Journey, Part 1

As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been learning Python.

As a result, I haven’t posted for a long while, so I thought I’d crawl out of my Python den and discuss my journey so far. It has been an interesting slither with some sunshine, as well as a few dark days.

My Background

I’ve been an auditor for many years, and before that I managed a data/computer security department (see my ABOUT post for other details). I don’t consider myself a programmer by any means, but have automated several processes with a variety of tools, including ACL, command line, Visual Studio, SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), Power BI, and other tools.

Quick Introduction to ACL

If you’ve ever wondered what Audit Command Language (ACL) is, here’s a quick way to find out.

ACL has provided a quick, one-page introduction to ACL. And I mean quick.

It doesn’t explain a lot, but it gives you a quick peek at the basic user interface.

You could call it the ACL Overview for Dummies.
