About the Course

In the final course, we'll tie all the concepts they’ve learned throughout this program together. They’ll tackle scenarios in Qwiklabs that will challenge them to use multiple skills at once. They’ll take a closer look at how to use external Python modules like the Python Image Library (PIL) to extend their code’s capabilities. They’ll also use data serialization to turn in-memory objects into messages that can be sent over programs with Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Finally, learners will solve a real-world problem by using their technical knowledge to create a program!...

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 was a good course to put what we learned in earlier courses into practice. The experience is slightly marred by the Week 4 lab where I couldn't pass the step for "Generate a PDF report and send it through email" even though my email is generated and the PDF looks the same, other than of course the date and the order of fruits. There is no specification on the fruits being ordered in a particular way, not did the given screenshot suggest a particular order. I've spent way too much time on this step and there is no indication on what is amiss. Please either provide feedback to users when that step fails, or update the instructions to be more specific (on linebreaks, format, ordering etc) or relax the grading criteria. A search in the discussion forum reveals other users facing the same problem.

This ruins the otherwise fun exercise.

I like that it has practical exercises from the daily life of a programmer, which gives you an idea of the tasks you could perform. But it seemed to me that more knowledge about advanced python needs to be imparted. What they give is super basic that does not cover the needs that a person has to meet in order to be able to perform the complex tasks that are asked of them later in the course. I believe that there would be one more module or course missing within this certification that explains advanced python, to obtain a better qualified audience at the end of the course. Anyway, I loved the course and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to take it! Thank you so much!

This final course, especially the last lab, was a good challenge! Luckily the labs were mostly consistent with the material, save for a few gotchas to spice things up a bit. The only issue was a bug preventing me from enrolling in the course after all the prior courses were completed. I'm grateful that the rep I reached out to, named Martha, was able to quickly address the matter - thank you!

The course content was really good. Learnt a lot. Sincere thanks to all the instructors! But the final certificate is formatted the wrong way! The response from Coursera was extremely unhelpful. They say they don't even have an estimate as to when this will be fixed, despite being such a minor change. Times are tough, I agree, but it is a paid course, and a Professional Certificate!!!

Good course, but it is a little bit of everything. Some topics should have really been introduced as concepts and covered deeper in specialized courses and specializations. Here it is just like looking through a keyhole and trying to do something with it... For example, coverage of Kubernetes was on the right level, but Docker was too much and too little.

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.
