About the Course

This is the seventh course in the Google Cybersecurity Certificate. These courses will equip you with the skills you need to apply for an entry-level cybersecurity job. You’ll build on your understanding of the topics that were introduced in the sixth Google Cybersecurity Certificate course. In this course, you will be introduced to the Python programming language and apply it in a cybersecurity setting to automate tasks. You'll start by focusing on foundational Python programming concepts, including data types, variables, conditional statements, and iterative statements. You'll also learn to work with Python effectively by developing functions, using libraries and modules, and making your code readable. In addition, you'll work with string and list data, and learn how to import, parse and debug files. Google employees who currently work in cybersecurity will guide you through videos, provide hands-on activities and examples that simulate common cybersecurity tasks, and help you build your skills to prepare for jobs. Learners who complete this certificate will be equipped to apply for entry-level cybersecurity roles. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will: - Explain how the Python programming language is used in cybersecurity. - Write conditional and iterative statements in Python. - Create new, user-defined Python functions. - Use Python to work with strings and lists. - Use regular expressions to extract information from text. - Use Python to open and read the contents of a file. - Identify best practices to improve code readability. - Practice debugging code....

Outstanding content! Helped me immensely to refresh my knowledge of python and add to it. Plenty of hands-on labs and exercises. Great instructor. I thank Google and Coursera for this quality content.

Definitely shows you the practical side of Python. With some imagination, by the end of this course you'll be capable of writing your own small programs to automate tasks. Being overly critical, the only complaint I have is I prefer the course setting of competitor education websites, and, naturally, the material was a bit boring. If you just want to learn python and have fun, I'd recommend researching other courses, but for practical projects, this is for you!

This course is by far the most information dense, taking more time to understand the terminology and code in order to continue. I had the hardest time with this course, but I did see the value of everything I studied. I just have to put aside more time to become more familiar with all the functions in a practical way to gain confidence in using Pything in cybersecurity.

I think the order of the 4th module needs to be revised. If the debugging section was moved to the second section after the introduction it would have made the rest of the module clearer and easier to comprehend. There are many points in labs where you get stuck, knowing how to interpret error messages would allow you to find you mistakes and fix them.

This was a great course along with all the others, however, I did not complete my discussions before I was deemed completed with certain courses, this one in particular. Also I'd like to continue with access to all the courses during my training until I am completed with the whole program so that I can reference and practice I I move forward.

If it is for basics then you should try to add more detailed videos on programming. I means to say if someone is new to coding and don't know what it look like this part of course can't explain them very well. So, try to be more elaborate.

The instructions in the parsing module were very vague to me. I would like more of a thorough walk through so to speak as in previous modules, especially in the lab portions.

little complex need to take a special python training to learn more about it because this course just teach us how to read a code and write a basic code

I felt that this was the most difficult lesson so far and trying to understand Angel because of his accent made it more difficult.

Good Class! My only add would be that the examples in the videos continue over into the exams.
