About this course

This is the seventh course in the Google Cybersecurity Certificate. In this course, learners will be introduced to the Python programming language and learn how to apply it to a security setting to automate tasks. First, learners will focus on key foundational Python programming concepts, including data types, variables, conditional statements and iterative statements. Next, they will learn to work effectively with Python by developing functions, using libraries and modules, and making their code readable. Following this, they will explore working with string and list data. A final component of learning to automate tasks through Python will be an exploration of how to import and parse files, and then the course will conclude with a focus on debugging.

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.

I was new to Python but I easily learned all the concepts thanks to the interactive content provided in the course. If you have basic programming knowledge you can easily complete the course.

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.

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.
