Kim has such a sweet and kind presence. It was easy to feel flustered but, Kim was very helpful and reassuring. And, I liked hearing from the Google employees about their roles. They make it sound challenging and rewarding. Their sense of satisfaction and pride boosted my enthusiasm. Really enjoyed learning about the command line interface, BASH, and SQL. Labs were very helpful and gave a sense of accomplishment.

Initially, I was skeptical about how these two extensive subjects could be covered in a single short course. With my strong background in both areas, I enrolled in the course primarily as a refresher and to fulfill the certification requirements. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the course managed to provide a captivating overview that effectively introduced beginners to both topics. Well done!

This was INCREDIBLY fun! I had a feeling I would really enjoy this section with my (very) limited experience in the past with simple coding on websites like MySpace... and I was right! Really easy to understand modules and I loved being able to apply my knowledge into coding exercises. This was such a great section that I am actively seeking ways to expand my knowledge even further beyond this course.

Very resourceful. The challenges and terminal internal help solidify the concepts and bring to reality. The cases presented puts the learner right in thinking of a professional and help them make critical decisions. The complexity of the topic are delivered in incremental steps, thus it's not daunting for the learners. Very good. The teachers were calm, patient, and methodical in presentation.

Tools of the Trade: Linux and SQL was such a great course! I am completely new to both SQL and Linux but I was able to pick up on the basics quickly with Google's Cybersecurity advisors. They made it easy to learn by employing a number of teaching methods, including actually running queries, filters & joins in SQL and using commands in the Shell to generate desired outputs in Linux, etc.

Excellent course. Takes you a bit beyond the basics and puts you on track to dive deeper in Linux and SQL. Provides you with resources (web sites) to learn more. You don't have to search. The course tells you where to look and find what you're looking for. Also, explains real life situations as to when you'll be using those tools more often. Highly recommended.

Hello, I would like to suggest that the "id" command in Linux be added to the module that covers Linux. I find it important to teach people to ensure that the results of altering an user entity are verified after the command is run, as well as checking the results of changing permissions to files and folders, as was done in the previous activity.

An introduction to Linux and SQL with no prerequisite technical knowledge. Do not be deceived though into thinking this course is a walk-over. There is a LOT to learn.

A very worthwhile course. Do all the practice exercises and complete this course and you WILL be able able to hold your own in conversations with developers and other techies.

SQL is an important Tools of the trade in cybersecurity. It's an important tools for filtering, aggregating etc. Sudo crafted from superuser is an important command line interface that is used for permission and access grants. I find most of the CLI in Linux and SQL query fascinating and hope to keeping learning more to stay ahead of SE.

Best experience to learn new concepts like SQL queries and many more interesting concepts throught the course and also the guidance of the experts related to field of cybersecurity from the Google Team who are working at the Google . I am very much thankful to all the mentors and the experts who guided throughout this course.

This course is very impactful. The SQL is a beast by itself not counting the filters and join tables. It is a challenging course, but a very interesting one. This is one ride that goes very deep in what it means to be in the security field. It delves into the very heart of what it really takes to be a security analysts.

I loved being able to use the app to see how Linux and SQL would look in an every day setting- like actually typing in it, being able to make my own mistake and figure out how to fix them and everything rather than just watching videos and reading. It is a great supplement being able to use this app!

This course had a bunch of labs for both linux and SQL. I found it to be quite a challenge, and I took a long time to complete it. However, the support within each lab was good and I did not struggle. Of the 4 Google CyberSecurity courses that I have taken so far, this was also the most enjoyable.

I am truly impressed with this course. The hands-on labs allowed me to practice in real-world scenarios, and each module included well-organized summary documents that made everything clear. This structure helped me keep my studies organized and on track. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

I have worked in sql and linux (and unix) for years during my navy intel days and years afterwards. It had been a minute since I had to flex that part of my brain. This course helped to give me confidence that I am truly on the right path back into the world I should never have left.

Boy! as a person from health care, I had no knowledge of any of this, but with much practice, repetition, and good old crumbing this information everyday, I was able to pass. Love the idea I now have a new skill. I am going out into the world of google to find more practice. Love it.

It seems like you may want to post a course review for a resource about Linux and SQL. I will be more than happy to help with reviewing if you need it. Just let me know which topics you'd like to emphasize-moving forward with the content, teaching style, or practical applications.

The material is very well-organized, presented in a sequential manner from basic to advanced levels, allowing students to understand in detail. It focuses on key points of the subject, with real-world case studies and practical exercises that deepen comprehensive understanding.

This course was really fun, but I will say write down the commands in a notebook to actually remember what commands to use for each "task". Other than writing notes just practice, I will be returning to this course to regain my memory on SQL & Linux. (it's a bit to remember)

Started to get a lot more challenging and had a lot more practical exercises which I felt was beneficial to my learning experience. The theory in previous courses started to become very tedious so this was a breathe of fresh air. Definitely been my favourite course so far!

Tough but rewarding! Definitely a lot of technical content, but as long as you take your time and not be afraid to play around with examples, you should be fine. Make sure to pay close attention to proper syntax, spellings, and the ordering of the commands you'll learn.

this was an amazing journey learning Linux and command line world. I already had an exposure to Linux and SQL but after this course I feel confident in using commands. I have installed Windows subsystem for Linux in my Windows machine and practicing the commands.

The course was very exciting. I gained insight into Linux, and had hand-on experience using CLI and SQL to protect systems and fetch data. As always, the course was technical but they succeeded in making it simple for easy learning. I am glad I took the course.

It is a TON of information but it's totally worth it. in my opinion SQL was w=easier to learn than Linux but its still lots of information. Take notes because the videos will always have slightly different information than the reading portions.

Prior to beta testing this course, I had no knowledge of SQL. However, I can proudly say that I have gained some knowledge. The numerous labs coupled with the clarity of the course contents will help learners assimilate the course more readily.
