About the Course

In the final course, we'll tie together the concepts that you’ve learned up until now. You'll tackle real-world scenarios in Qwiklabs that will challenge you to use multiple skills at once. First, we'll take a closer look at how to use external Python modules to extend your code's capabilities, and spend some time learning how to use documentation to learn a new module. For example, we'll use the Python Image Library (PIL) to create and modify images. We'll show you some simple examples of how to perform common tasks in the course material, but it will be up to you to explore the module documentation to figure out how to solve specific problems. Next, we'll show you how to communicate with the world outside of your code! You'll use data serialization to turn in-memory objects into messages that can be sent to other programs. Your program will send messages across the network to Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) offered by other programs. For those times when your code needs to talk to a person instead of a program, you'll also learn to send email messages. At the end of this course, you’ll be able to take a description of a problem and use your skills to create a solution -- just like you would on the job. In your final capstone project, you'll be given a description of what your customer needs, and it will be up to you to create a program to do it!...

So hard, but thanks God, I'm here now still alive :)

Thanks, Google! It's such a wonderful journey through your courses on day-to-day task and real-world problem solving... and I really like it!

To me, this is the best course in the specialization. It helps you realize how far you've gotten from just barely learning Python and it also has the best labs where you can practice your skills.

This course has really helped me seen System Administration and IT Technical Support from in a whole new light. When I started I thought it was going to be easy but as I progressed I realised it was not the ease but the amount of work and thinking that goes into delivering cutting edge solutions. I am confident with all the skills I have acquired in this course and would keep my fingers crossed for more exciting courses from Google and awesome Googlers.

This course was well-structured, engaging, and informative. The hands-on projects were particularly useful in reinforcing the material covered in each module. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided helpful feedback on project submissions. Overall, I highly recommend this course for anyone interested in developing practical automation skills with Python.

You need to have every concept very clear, Problems proposed are so wide, It took me around 7 completely dedicated days to fill this challenge. But I beat it. It worth it, I'm so happy for this. Everyone just keep pushing even when you think you're getting stuck, maybe you just need to clear your mind, drink a cup of coffee and start again with a new idea.

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.

Finally thowing it all into practice! I'm glad coursera breaks up the knowledge into sections, but it would be nice to have some more practice from prior modules before jumping into the final Week of throwing it all together. Puppet and IaaS learning tended to bump some other Python knowledge out of my brain, leaving me to scramble back a lot.

I still can't believe that i can really do these things.. I wonder hoe i just started with just a little knowledge and thinking whether it is correct decision or not but now i will say i make aright decision to enroll for this course. They are just awesome not only in their work but also in teaching people...

Definitely the most rewarding labs in the series. This course takes off the training wheels and lets you write most of the code on your own, the labs are harder but very satisfying to finish, I especially like the last lab. Definitely recommend the entire Specialization and this course. Thanks.

long course but definitely worth it, even when done quickly it gives alot of exposure to the Information Technology field as well as a lot of Python knowledge and skills that can be applied to other languages as well. A great beginners course that is practical and relatively challenging

Bastante útil, en el laboratorio se presentaron muchos errores pero el lograr corregirlos también fue experiencia de aprendizaje, aunque puede ser algo frustrante considerando que hay tiempos de entrega, afortunadamente los foros están disponibles al igual que el personal de qwicklabs.

Incredible course! Well structured and you advance in each chapter learning new topics at the same time that the complexity increases. The laboratories are quite a challenge that motivate you to think differently and look for alternatives to do the job well done.

This was incredibly rewarding, I used everything included GitHub to be able to move all my scripts to a different session when the time of my first lab expired since the time was not enough for me. Almost every concept in the course was used in this last module

This course took a lot of time to understand and update the deliverables. This course deals with the Real World problems of Automating with the help of Python. I am delightfully thankful to my instructors at google for this wonderful opportunity.

This was a fantastic introduction to Python. I've learned a lot throughout this certificate program. It has really opened up many new possibilities for me. The course is well-organized, and the assignments are well-designed and thoughtful.

Wow what a perfect course at the end of this course I was able to automate my work and instead of working 10 hours work for only 2-3 hours to monitor only the app I create to automate my work.

I just want say Thanks Gooogle.

This was an extraordinarios course, the best of the entire specialization, I spent hours with challenging real world problems and I also need to put in practice all the knowledges previously acquired in past courses.

It's a fantastic opportunity for me, as several of the courses were new to me. This course has a light touch, and further courses include server monitoring, platform interaction, version control, and so on.

The course is really good. The methodology applied to teaching is efficient and the way that they show us how important and where we can implement all the teachings makes the course dynamic and interesting.

Personally, loved the ending of the course. Everything learned so far is greatly applied in a final task that makes you feel confident about what you learnt and encourages you to continue an IT journey.

Excellent Course!!!

I can't emphasize this enough. I learned so many new concepts and the exercises were challenging and fun.

The whole specialization was a superior learning experience all the way

I thought it was a good course. It gives you a good foundation in python I would love to see google make a advanced python with django course or a golang course would be awesome too.
