Really enjoyed the course, Thanks Roger Martinez for the pleasant, straightforward explanations and creators for well packed content, rather say a brisk course at all, no nonsense - total value for the time spend.

The course added a new set of tool in my skill toolbox, that can be used with prior consideration for many IT based problems in future. Thanks to coursera.

# Really good course for beginners (with programming background) to dive a bit deeper into Python when mastered the crash course already .

# Real world examples, very good course material (videos, self study, quizzes, interactive labs, etc.)

# Learn quickly the most important things

# Disadvantage: For a totally newbies in programming at all, it may be hard.

This course teaches how to use Python to automate system administration and real world tasks. It illustrates how to apply programming to automate tasks that would been otherwise hard or impossible to complete. This is a power tool to have in our toolset of IT specialists. Thanks to the instructor, to Google and Coursera for this unique opportunity.

It is an excellent start to shell, Linux and Bash scripting. I have learned tons of practical real-world concepts in this course. As an instructor, Randy Martinez has taken learners through challenging concepts and I commend him for that. You will need to have a solid background in python, though. For me, it was an unforgettable learning experience.

Excellent course overall. The last project was fantastic except the version of python I'm using is 3.97 and the version on the student machine is 3.52. The dictionary update didn't work, so I used bash for the headers. The regex grouping uses different syntax to extract from the line also. But I really enjoyed the exercise and I am getting better.

¡Excelente curso! Aprendí realmente mucho más de lo que pensé, y la modalidad de enseñanza es excepcional, pues no sólo se brindan explicaciones claras y completas, sino que además se establecen legítimos escenarios de práctica, donde los estudiantes podemos poner en juego todos los aprendizajes logrados, en casos reales. Realmente muy recomendado.

The course started off with basic Python functions and commands used on a Linux terminal and slowly developed into teaching about file handling and functioning of system calls, signals, and more commands. Highly recommended for individuals with basic knowledge of Python and Linux terminal who want to dive deeper into the field of file manipulation.

This is a wonderful course, made with soul. This is a wonderful story in simple words about complex topics. Huge thanks to the amazing creators and Google Corporation. I am a refugee from Ukraine studying to find a job and this course has been a huge support for me and my family during a difficult time after russia's dastardly attack on Ukraine.

Wasnt very sure of the qwiklab evaluations till week 5 because they were so very easy but week 6 & 7 were the best they really test your gains from the course. Highly recommended for all who want an detailed explanations on basics of REGEX and BASH.. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone who is planning to start a career on Python

I have learned Python Scripting and Linux Bash Scripting which interested me a lot.

Thanks to videos and the additional information provided in the different modules, I have been able to deeply learn these Scripting languages. Then with the different labs I have been able to practice and deepen what I have learned.

A highly recommended course

Amazing course ! I have now understood very important lesson on my python journey I will definitely recommend who want to practice and improve python skill . This course is designed as per the industry standards. Looking forward for learning .A Big Thanks to the Reliance who letting me attend this course and the entire Google Team No sweat

I had come into this course with a intermediate to advanced knowledge of Python, but the specifics on using it to interact with the operating system were new to me. Already I have used what I learned in this course to automate a text data labeling task I was doing for work as a freelance data scientist. Definitely worth the time!

This is a remarkably well-written course that builds seamlessly on the "Crash Course in Python" predecessor in the certificate. I have a Linux laptop and coded all the examples and labs locally. The final two labs are very challenging and demand intermediate-level skills. I'm very impressed with the Coursera / Google combo.

The quality of this course is legit brilliant. I'll recommend it to everyone out there. A great add-on to an already existing IT degree and a great experience for a first-timer too. From explanations to examples to tests to real-world problems, this course is like no other! I feel there's value here for everyone. Much love!

Great course. It will guide you from the very basics on, the last lab is great since you will need to put a huge amount of the knowlege you have gathered through out the course in practice. The regex part is great and you might get something from there even if you are experienced in IT but haven't used regex that much.

Fun stuff to lean. Some topics such as regex and bash are something that I always wanted to learn but unable to find a structured learning material. This course is a great attempt in combining multiple IT skills in a structured and fun way. Good job Google team. Thanks for making this course possible and available.

Although the videos are very easy to understand, without practice and self.study you may get general understanding of how python works with OSs, but who wants to progress and code like a pro needs a lot of exercises and practice and study. Thank you GOOGLE for the course and looking forward to the next courses.

Está diseñado de una manera extraordinaria. Sin avanzar contenidos futuros para no desviar la atención del estudiante pero siempre haciendo recopilación muy fidedigna de todo lo aprendido. Las posibilidades de automatización que me esperan para aplicar a nivel profesional ya las tengo en mente y son infinitas

great course! At the end of the course, learned a lot about basic linux commands, bash scripts and the interaction between py file and bash. the final assignment is a bit annoying as the criteria only check the whole progress (but not in separate stage). Wish there's more non-graded coding exercises tho.

The course is very well structured, and it becomes easy to learn and move forward. You will literally learn a lot of things and gain quality concepts and hands-on practical experience with amazing assignments at the end of each week's course. This improves your problem-solving and thinking abilities.

I was COBOL programmer and it was bit difficult to learn a different language or tool, but the course content and the experienced and tactful mentor made it possible for me. Thanks everyone out there, the content makers, organizers and the teachers. Thumbs up to the whole team at Google and Coursera.

Its a really cool Course with a good instructor. I really felt like I learned a lot of new stuff. Examples are Regex or Bash. Don't get me wrong I used Regex or Bash before but never really understood it (Only in like copy/paste scripts). So for me, this course made a big difference :) Thanks

Was really nice. I learned a lot! Especially helpful was that the last two asignments were not as detailly guided as the ones before. That really forced me to do it by myself! I really got the feeling of biting a lot until I got the code to work. Well not "a lot" but still a little bit :)

I'm very satisfied with thsi course, all modules that Ive finish till now bringed me much more knowledge and ensure me with capable concepts and more logical thinking. Its amazing to people that knowing other languages or some beginners that want pursuit an I.T. career. Thanks Google

Really interesting course. After the crash course in Python, this got exponentially more detailed and trickier. Final assignment was a killer! Had to spend 3 days thinking of various permutations/combinations to get the code to work. Huge learning - EVERY LITTLE DETAIL is important!
