this course is super useful, starting from learning the Python programming, testing, programming in the Linux environment, learning Regular Expression, Bash (shell) scripting. it would be great to have these tools in your IT Specialist toolbox.

The most useful course that I ever find it. It provides really good understanding of core concepts which you can use in your work as well as automate some process and saving time to other work. You can hands-on with linux environment as well.

It's a very practical course. Concepts like create and modify files, how to connect to a remote instance, bash scripting... All of that is really useful in the IT field. The course gives a pretty good overview of these. I really liked it.

This is the best IT course that I have ever taken so far. For all those out there desiring to go into the IT space, combining this specialization with the other one on IT Support is highly recommended. A BIG THANKS TO THE TUTOR and GOOGLE.

Learned a lot,

I'm currently working in a big company (2 years) but they rarely teached me how to properly use my skills and assets.

Thanks to these courses i'm expanding my knowledge of what i could do with a programming language and more!

It's a well organised course, easy to follow even when it gets to complex subjects. The videos are paced nicely and the instructor is engaging. Would recommend this course to anyone interested in IT automation, of any age and background.

It's a great.. I have learnt a lot of power of python and bash command.. It's seems someone gave me this superpower to control mind(obviously computer's mind not a real person's mind), I have a great experience throughout this course...

I learned a lot of extremely useful information that I was already able to apply quickly for my use cases. It was a lot of fun to go through these exercises and tests. A wonderful course to pick up python and its flexible features.

Now I know with python... I could use to interact with any operating system without the need to know their terminal commands.

This is definitely going to make my life easier with the all-new automation tools provided in this course

Great course for anyone who recently mastered the basics of python. There are a number of important and useful topics which you can learn in this course. Definitely reccomend this to anyone who doesn't already know these stuffs.

Easy to say this is the best course have take, Its pretty easy to follow and then length and distribution of the content makes you feel that is not that long and in fact is not too long, amazing content and great way of teaching

A single course covering python, regex, bash and unit testing and some knowledge about linux OS. The course teaches you how to use bash and/or python to manage files, processes, services and analyze log file. Highly recommended.

Taught me a lot of ways and methods to interact with the operating system with python including using regex and a bonus lecture on using bash scripts and when it's necessary to either use bash or python in automation processes.

It would be helpful if qwiklab task description would be more specific. I find it difficult to understand that if I should follow the cmd and code verbatim or follow some portion for understanding and other for the actual task.

This is great course and as the title says you really learn how to interacting with the operating system using python I enjoyed a lot the exercises as they made me understand better the concepts and solidify what was taught!!

I had some problems with the QikiLabs as my script was working, but the program itself wasn't recognizing it as correct right away. Overall though a great experience. Thank you to the instructor for making it a fun experience.

This course was extremely well prepared, well thought, and challenging at times. Especially for someone like me with no technical and practical experience with writing code. Thank you, Roger, Thank you Google. Great Job Guys!

I really like this course especially the final grading. The final grading is very challenging because it wraps up all the topics frow week 1 until week 6. All the topics need to be implemented for solving real-world problem.

To start a career in It as well as to start learning a programming language to use it for a real life application this course is the best for me till now. I will recommnd to everyone this course if you want to learn like me.

A great course. I am absolutely happy selecting this course. I've learned a lot out of this. In the final project it was awesome to look back at what I did and I now feel that I can do a lot with python. Thank you, Google.

This is really game chaning experience so far as long as i remember learning programming. and thanks for coursera delivering real world case example for this course project . iam really excited to join next course for sure

QwikLabs uses an older version of Python, and thus interacting with QwikLabs was often tricky, as the version of Python used in QwikLabs was not specified, making it incompatible with code written before starting the lab.

This was a great course and I learned a lot about python, the operating systems, etc. This course teaches complex concepts in such an easy to understand way. The structure of this course is also great. I love the course.

I have learned a lot about python and how to interact os using python. Believe me this course is really a good use of time.And last but not least the final project is awesome you can't escape without using your brain:)

Really great course, i stopped doing this course around week 4 for 4 months, so the last lab was a real challenge, but it helped me revise on how to interact with csv files, thank you Google for this amazing course
