The Mob Squad enters a whole new dimension of danger in this official Minecraft novel! Things are changing in the town of Cornucopia. The mighty wall that kept the townsfolk sealed off from the outside world is wide open, and the world beyond beckons with the promise of new adventures. The Mob Squad were heroes not so long ago, but the adults are still in charge, and to them, even the most heroic kid is still just a kid. The Mob Squad's leader, Mal, is still milking cows and dreaming of the next adventure. Their sharp-eyed archer Lenna is learning everything she can about the Overworld, but the horizon is still far away. Fearless warrior Chug is running a store with his brother, but his reputation for breaking stuff has some folks still calling him a bad apple. And his inventive brother, Tok . . . Wait, where did Tok go?! When the fourth member of the Mob Squad vanishes in the night, along with most of the town's potions, Cornucopia's elders think they're dealing with a runaway thief.

本書第1版於2020年11月出版發行後大獲成功，Python及NetDevOps技術在國內計算機網絡圈子裡迅速走紅，國內與NetDevOps相關的技術文章在網絡上如雨後春筍般大量涌現，行業裡也出現了很多要求掌握NetDevOps技術的網絡工程師職位，並且需求越來越多，NetDevOps是“下一代網絡工程師”必須掌握的技能已經成為既定且不可逆的事實。 以Python為主的NetDevOps技術知識更迭很快，第2版將在第1版的基礎上添加TextFSM詳解、Netmiko詳解、Nornir詳解、NETCONF詳解及RESTCONF詳解等5章內容，並去掉pyping、pyntc、netdev等一些不再流行或者作者已經公開宣布不再維護的模塊內容。 另外，第2版將在思科設備的基礎上添加華為設備的內容，由朱嘉盛老師執筆，相信能對主要使用國產設備的國內網絡工程師更加有益。
