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.

The final assignment was a bit complicated, and that is what I expect as well, "to challenge ourselves". Overall this is a really good opportunity for anyone out there seeking for some knowledge in Automation. Great Course and I am really happy that I've chosen this course.

This was a good course to put it all together, but I still wish there was more practice with Git and creating our own projects from scratch. The final project was a good exercise, but it felt like I was interacting with things that I didn't have access to.

You structured a unique learning process. Refinement is necessary with respect to your automated grading system but I trust your product will continue to evolve and I have no doubt about the overall potential of your program to exceed all expectations.

some parts of tests could be a bit confusing. I enjoyed the tests more when the answers were not given. perhaps a "click here for the answer" instead of having the question followed by the whole code snippet available (until the last chapter).

This is a pretty exciting course! I learned a lot from this! But, the instructional readings are missing some critical steps for setting up the Python modules covered and I experienced technical difficulties with half of the QwikLabs.

This is a great introductory course to python, bash, debugging,, etc. The programming examples at the end require a bit of self exploration. I had to take the final twice as I ran out of time the first go around.

This course is all text, which is a welcome difference for me. I found the projects to be challenging and rewarding. The certificate is broken and filled with errors. Oh well.. at least I learned something.

Lectures are well done. Labs can struggle with automated tasks. The mini quizzes throughout the course are re-enforcing and helpful. Lecturers are very good

Learning this course was awesome. It helped me hoe to be logical and how to solve each problem step by step. And how to automate real world tasks.

The assessment feels realistic and provides a lot of problem-solving skills and hands-on experience with critical thinking capabilities.

The course capstone is a bit tough as it has only readings and we have to do most of the work on our own, but definitely worth it!

Hard, It would be better if these are in greater in volume and easy instead of more difficult and less volume.

This was long and hard and I need plenty of help along the way, but I will continue to python mastery.

I wish we had more exercises to follow along during the course, not only at the end of module...
