This course definitely went into rigorous metrics of programming at an expert level! I enhanced my intermediate knowledge to gain a higher understanding of hash operations in programming as well as a deeper understanding of Python methodology.

Loved this. The reading resources and labs are great. The Python videos are kind of too fast except the first two, so have to take the time to study by reading the transcript and/or re-watching the videos. Overall a very good course.

Felt like the easiest of the 6 courses I've taking but that could be me learning what I need to know. This course had really interesting subject matter and help clarify some directions I should be focusing on.

Very interesting, specially the forensics section. It takes significantly more time to go through it than stated if you try to thoroughly do all exercises and you are not used to use linux & forensics tools.

Good fundamental knowledge for pentesting, overwiev picture of incident responding, threat handling and cyber forensics as focused on data gathering. Must know in order to progress deeper in that field.

I am glad that i found this course, It is still the basics, but It is so detailed and so easy to understand, IBM did include all need materials as well as where to practice. I hope to find more courses.
