Google IT Automation with Python

Maybe somebody can provide more advice but the following is a Specialization on Coursera that can get you into coding/automation. With this you'll be able to tinker around and do some projects on your own that you can add to your portfolio.

Google hiring plenty of people in Dublin. This course should get you a paid internship

https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

I'm currently doing this IT program. Google gave me a scholarship. Look into it. All I had to do is write a 2 paragraph eassy about why I should be given the scholarship.

https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

Only python course I took was on coursera and it's really good

Ave popolo di Ritaly, secondo voi questo corso su Coursera può essere utile per guadagnare delle competenze utili e rivendibili sul lavoro? Ho già delle basi nel linguaggio in questione.

Have you tried this course by Google ? https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

You can learn so much on YouTube or coursera or EdX or any number of other places. For free. There are so many ways to make decent money it’s mind boggling. My grandma taught herself everything she could about eBay and at 88 makes more than she ever had over a super long career.

Here is a free programming certificate for beginners, sponsored and written by Google.

https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

If you rack up a few of those you could get a good job in Chicago, California, New York, Texas...

So....I mean....it’s not like there’s a lack of options out there. Any coal miner or gas field worker that is determined to make good money elsewhere is going to be successful as long as they put in the time to actually learn something new.

Along with “Automate the Boring Stuff”, google has a good course as well.

Thanks for your reply. I'm currently working through the Google IT Automation with Python Professional Certificate program on Coursera. I figured I should finish that up before starting with WGU so I can give my future course load my full attention. Seeing that I just finished week 2 (out of 6) content for the 1st of 6 courses, I know I have a while yet before I finish but so far am unsure how long it will take.

Google has a course on coursera, i think its pretty useful as the certificate can be used as a "even google thinks i kbow python" https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

I should note this is focused on linux, cloud and APIs, its a good beginner course on an often overlooked part of python and like i said, the certificate is nice

My degree was in IT with little programming. However, I went back to learn more with Python. I've witnessed first hand how being able to create small scripts using Python can save a whole lot of time, and you just naturally become so much more attractive to employers.

Initially I did Python in college, now I'm learning more through the Google Coursera class 'Scripting & Automation', it's easy to follow along and they do a decent job explaining things. You can learn more about it here.

Yes, the course is from coursera, its the Google IT automation course. I am taking it because I currently work in the helpdesk and I eventually want to be able to program and move up to a sysadmin role.

This course series get a bit more in depth as you go along, lots of good stuff. https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

It is hard for me to say. I am not an expert yet, but I guess It depends on where they live and work. Doesn't have market value there or not.

Overall, I would recommend learning how to code, automation testing, continuous integration, and continuous delivery. Jenkins, Git Action, DevOps Azure ..etc.

For the complete beginner in IT, There is a great course on Coursera by Googel

https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

It introduces, explains the core IT concepts with practices.

Take the Google Python class on Coursera and earn your certificate: https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

You will be able to earn WAY more than $2/day.

Yes, well worth it... I have taken many courses of their courses since 5 years ago. Technical and not technical and can highly recommend Coursera as a learning platform.

The courses are well structured and they usually give you assignments to reinforce your learning experience.

This Python course by Google seems like a great start for a DevOps type role. Check it out if you fancy. https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

A very informative post. With regard to support skills, Google offers a certificate (not certification) that's a pretty nice introduction to skills that will come in handy:

How about "IT Automation with Python by Google" on Coursera?

https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

You can probably just audit the course (i.e. not pay a penny, but not get a certificate either, as that course is for IT guys) but you WILL learn Python. :)

Personally I really enjoyed Google's Professional Certificate in IT Automation with Python.

The name implies the course is just Python. It is mostly Python of course, but it covers Bash (Linux shell) as well as other useful concepts, like working with Git.

If you don't want the course certificate or marked assessments then I believe the content is free, otherwise there's a monthly cost for Coursera. I completed all six modules within a couple of months, so it only cost me two months subscription in the end.

This is the one i was talking about, no previous experience in programming is needed.

Apply for Financial Aid via Coursera. Maganda yung Google IT Automation from Google, I got the first two courses for free, and it's very engaging. https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation saka yung Zero to Hero in Python 3 sa Udemy

You might want to take a look at the two Google offerings linked below. I don't have personal experience with them, but given the constraints you have they might be a way to get something current on your resume at minimal cost.

• Google IT Support Professional Certificate

• Google IT Automation with Python Professional Certificate

Google IT Automation with Python Professional Certificate

Harvard CS50: Introduction to Computer Science

Do you think this is a good course? https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation Would you be able to link me to a example of a good computer / server architecture course?

I'm confused about your statement on the CCNA. Are you saying its difficult so I shouldn't take it or are you saying its becoming a waste?

&#x200B;

I'm taking a AWS SA four day boot camp in August, but I live in the Eastern tech capital so I was hoping to be able to get both the SA and ACE. Amazon is opening down the street, and I want a piece of the pie =]

I got into Ansible without knowing Python, and it definitely encouraged me to go learn Python (using the fantastic Google course on Coursera, which you can do for free if you don't care to get the cerfiticate: https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation). That's helped me immensely with exactly the issues you were dealing with here.

I don't get a lot of reddit notifications, and it was an interesting problem! I don't do much on the networking side of Ansible, so seeing how those modules work differently was informative.

I'm always glad to geek out about python, and I'm glad it helped. If you're ever in the Denver metro area, shoot me a DM, and I'll buy you a beer/coffee/etc!

Python is good for this type of work. This set of course is pretty good if you want to follow an organized course.

https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

Python perhaps

https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

Here are some stats with some info about it. They say that 84% of 100,000 or so people who have finished have had some impact on them either by job or pay increase.

I have finished the program and sadly, I am part of that 16% of people. But, for me it's mostly location and low amount of IT jobs in my area (Rural Kansas). My only options are either get more certs or look out of state. I would personally say it is worth it. Even with all the set backs and difficult transition into the field. It has given me some confidence into looking in changing careers. The course is very well done and focused on success of the individual. They recently have added a Python class too if you interested as well.

Really appreciate the response and thanks for being so thorough. I wish you the best for your future :)

Although you didnt ask, I would suggest you try the course Google IT Automation with python on Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation). It has great labs and is more focused on scripting rather than app development. Also, Automate the boring stuff with python (https://www.udemy.com/course/automate/) is a great short course with some small fun projects.

Also, If you feel like expanding your skillset (Analyst/Defense/blue team), European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) provides great training resources related to Forensics and Incident Management for free with VMs and walkthroughs. Some of it is a bit dated but Introduction to Network Forensics (https://europa.eu/!YG96dp) was updated last year.

I have free access to Google IT certification, and the follow up certification "IT automation with Python". Would completing these be the right way to go?

If I had access to these resources at your age I would probably be 10 years further along in my career:

Hola! si son los de coursera y me parece que también estan en udacity. Te dejo los links aqui abajo:

-https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

-https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-support

saludos!

Idk about Philly based bootcamps but gonna throw out some other free online options that are good.

https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

https://www.theodinproject.com/

There's quite a bit of resources available and it kind of depends on you what knowledge you have already. That said - if you're looking for a course that is just to get a good foundational knowledge of Python, here's a pretty dang good course; https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

I much prefer recommending free options, but I ran through the first section to see how it was (already know Python) and that's probably what I would recommend for someone just starting out.

I saw your post on landing a 70k job you posted a year ago. How have things gone since then? Are you still at the same job?

I am considering the AWS route. Would you recommend it? I am also looking into: https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

Do you have to code/program at your job? How difficult is the learning process? I really want to better my life and am ready to take this seriously.

If you want to get into cloud, I would say to pick one system, learn it thoroughly and then start thinking about the others.

If you have no experience in coding, there is a course on Coursera called Google IT Automation that you can look into because cloud is all about automation.

One place that you can start to get a feel for cloud is the Microsoft Developer Program. It will give you free tools to play with.

There are also learning paths on Microsoft Learn that you can use to learn the Azure system.

I'm not a shill for Microsoft, they just have a ton of free resources for people looking to learn and I love free since I'm currently poor

I did:

• Python for Everybody
• CS50's Web Programming with Python and JavaScript
• Google IT Automation with Python

But there are lots of courses on python out there but I wanted to learn the basics, flask, Django and system interactions and those courses did it for me. Now for the rest i reached the level where i learn what I need as I am programming.

This is good advice - I'm actually writing the PMP in about a month, and have the PSM I already.

What's your take on google's news of new jobs and their focus on supporting these two certs? I can't imagine you're landing a six figure job anytime soon after something like this.

It seems to me what might be happening here is that google is building out a model similar to salesforce - cloud saas and a bunch of admins/techs/BAs to keep it humming with each instance in each firm.

I would say try cs50 completely free, https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:HarvardX+CS50+X/course/

or even Coursera has a good course, you can get a 1 month free trial and probably finish a good bit of it by then, I managed to finish it all within the first month so I didnt pay anything. https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

I find most of udemy courses not really worth it, that's why they are always heavily discounted.

Get some IT certs, go into cybersecurity?

https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-support https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation https://www.coursera.org/specializations/networking-basics https://www.coursera.org/specializations/palo-alto-networks-cybersecurity

This is the exact book that WGU provides but it is worth noting that the WGU version stops at chapter 12. I'm normally pretty happy with the material that WGU offers, however, this book is not a good beginner resource. The Udemy course I mentioned, Python for Everyone, and Google's Python Automation course are all great resources and follow roughly the same outline and pace.

The test is in an online, somewhat limited interpreter. It's basically a dumbed down, basic version of repl.it. The majority of the questions are "Finish this function to achieve this goal" where the function is entirely blank and you must write it from scratch. Once you write the function, you have the option to execute it with the engine's test input to see if you recieve the expected output, which, is provided in the question.

There were also a couple of "fix this function" and "click on the error" problems but I don't know how common those actually are. I wish I could compare it to another class's OA but this was the first time I've had a test like this.

Ik denk dat hier al een paar mooie tips zijn gegeven. Als je echt een baan wilt gaan zoeken in systeembeheer dan zou ik inderdaad focussen op de Microsoft producten. Microsoft heeft momenteel ook een samenwerking met Pluralsight waar je voor vrijwel alle Microsoft certificaten gratis kan leren: https://www.pluralsight.com/partners/microsoft/azure

Certificaten zoals AZ900 zijn bovendien relatief goedkoop (€100,-), maar niet per se noodzakelijk. Als je in een interview kan aangeven de stof te hebben geleerd en vragen over de inhoud kan beantwoorden dan denk ik dat je net zover komt zonder als met certificaat.

Wil je meer de marketing kant op wilt dan kan je gratis allerlei Google cursussen doen: https://skillshop.withgoogle.com/ (denk aan Google Ads, Marketing, Analytics). Ook heel waardevol als je een beetje entrepreneurial ingesteld bent.

Google biedt daarnaast een hoop programma's gratis aan via Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/courses?query=google -- Net name Google's IT Support Professional Certificate geeft een goede fundering en kan je in ongeveer twee weken doorlopen (kennis is vergelijkbaar met Comptia A+). https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-support (volgens mij kan je bijna alle gratis "auditen/inzien", alleen voor het bewijs dat je het afgerond hebt betaal je).

Als je meer de coding kant op wilt dan is CS50 en de link naar Comptuer Science op Github die al eerder gepost zijn goede startpunten. Misschien ook iets van Google IT Automation erachteraan: https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

Succes!

Check the MIT degree chart: http://catalog.mit.edu/degree-charts/computer-science-engineering-course-6-3/

Start with the intro to computer science, then move into calculus I and II, then Math for computer science, then data structures, then intro to algorithms then designing algorithms.

That is not enough to call yourself a computer scientist, but it is enough to start programming in an entry-level job. You can find all the courses for free here: https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm

Also, you could consider skipping the MIT classes and jumping into this certificate, it includes a job positioning system: https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation

Thank you very much for this explanation. That's exactly what I wanted to hear.
Appreciate your help really a lot.
From far I can see the best now is to put ML/DL on hold for later stages and focus on something smaller as you recommened.
But could you recommend something specific?
What do you think then about MIT edX program or Google Automation course?
Another options are to start doing some other Udemy courses like Fred Baptiste deep learning courses, The Modern Python 3 Bootcamp, Learn Python Programming Masterclass, The Complete Python Course | Learn Python by Doing
I dont really like the idea of reading books or doing something like codeacademy. Because from my point of view, there is not enough practice, for example, in the above courses there is organized assignment and things. Which help to improve better. Maybe I'm wrong

Learn Python and different ways you can automate infrastructure.
https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation is a good course.

Use your time at Amazon to beef up your infrastructure skills and in your spare time building tools and scripts to become more familiar with Software Engineering.

Here is the roadmap: https://roadmap.sh/devops

&#x200B;

But more than anything, coming from the IT path.. beef up your programming skills if it's not your strongest area. I have been rejected from more opportunities in my earlier days, due to my shakiness in coding.

&#x200B;

So far every year, Facebook has a program called Discover Production Engineering, which is basically a mentorship/internship program, where they train you to become a Production Engineer (Facebook's spin on Site Reliability Engineer)

https://www.facebook.com/careers/facebook-life/discover-pe

You don't have to be a LeetCode wizard, but you need to know how to write code and how to dance the technical interview dance.

Hope this helps.

Esse é o case.

Eu estou estudando no momento Python por essas fontes aqui (essa, essa e essa).

Eu também estou realizando esse curso. E quando terminar esses pretendo começar esses aqui (1, 2, 3 e 4) eu digo que pretendo, pq já fiz o pedido de auxilio financeiro do courseira só estou esperando aprovação.

Fora isso eu tenho alguns livros aqui comigo de algebra linear, matematica discreta e estatistica que foram bastante recomendados e eu baix.. aluguei na loucadora do Paulo Coelho, e eu estou acompanhando um curso de estatistica da USP.

São todos cursos gratuitos, mas estou curtindo bastante, especialmente esses do Coursera que parace ter um projeto aplicado para portfólio.

Mas digo que estou estudando isso a 1 mês mais ou menos, mas as coisas ainda não clicaram comigo ainda não.
