Thank you. I'm sorry about the typo. I'll reply in this fixed thread.

Thank you. I think that's why I couldn't find it - I mispelled it. :)

The biggest thing with me is my memory. In that if it takes too much to 
do a task (ie. Ansible taking several lines to make a directory vs. 
Python taking one line), then I tend to forget how things are done and 
it gets confusing.

Great suggestions! Thank you. I do have some C programming skills but 
not that great. I can get around the CLI pretty well, I'm proficient 
with Perl, am learning Pythong. I had used git but I don't really have 
much to share (right now) and so I don't have an account anymore there. 
Most of my stuff is for my work, which doesn't really share stuff 
(though I could share my code if I wish). I'm not thinking of going into 
a side-hobby of programming. At work I manage a web server, and pretty 
much am more comfy with Perl and Bash and now Python. But I also want to 
be sure to keep up with the times, so to speak. So I wondered if other 
admins recommended Ansible as a "must have skill" or just optional.
