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.

This was extremely difficult for a beginner, and despite putting in the time, I struggled the whole way through.

Very hard course for somebody with no coding experience.

They start by drip feeding you information in a way that is easy to understand. That's the first half of module 1. The second half is being force fed through 2 fire hoses at the same time. The course goes from a 2/10 difficulty for someone who has never used Python and very quickly jumps to 11/10 and immediately expects you to be able to apply what was thrown at you. They provide hints, however these hints are almost completely useless when you get stuck trying to figure out how to appropriately form the syntax for Python. you can learn a lot but you can very quickly get overwhelmed.

The labs didn't give nearly enough information on how to complete them compared to other labs throughout the course and were incredibly difficult. I only learned what I was doing through the exemplars that explained each step carefully. There was not enough practice within each lab to properly expand user knowledge of Python. Though I did learn the basics of the program, I do not feel as though I could use Python effectively.

I'm facing some technical issues in regards to Taking my course assessment. The options to the questions are not given in most cases only one option will be given and if it's the wrong answer I will still fail the assessment. Please I need help Thanks

I did not appreciate the linguistic skills of the presenter, they were quite difficult to understand, especially when dealing with code.

with a tutor, it would be a lot easier to understand it better but it wasn't easy and it will take me a little more practice.
