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....

So far one of the most complete and most difficult courses. I also already have prior training in Python but I had difficulties learning some things. But I really thought it was the best course of the entire program so far.

This was a great course, I already knew Python so I was just brushing up and learning the current style. It can be recommended for anyone as a standalone course to learn the basics of Python and programming in general.

If you keep reminding yourself, that the course is for BEGINNERS, the constant hand-holding and repetition is actually a positive! If you are not 100% new to programing and python: BE PATIENT, JUST DO IT! ;-)

Awesome course. It takes you from scratch and step by step takes you high up. As always, in the course, there are practices and on your own too, in your journey, you must practice

Actually being a student from India it was little easy for me to understand the Instructor's English Accent. And he was pretty crystal clear in each modules by going step by step.

Great Course. I definitely recommend this to anyone interested in learning about computers and most importantly how to secure them properly before even starting to use one.

The best Course of all. I prefer more practical experience, than memorise things. But I understand that basic knowledge is important. Just put more hands-ons to the Course.
