Using Python to Interact with the Operating System WEEK 6 Qwiklabs Assessment Coursera by Google. Welcome to Using Python to Interact with the Operating System. You’re joining thousands of learners currently enrolled in the course. This course is a part of Google IT Automation with Python Professional Certificate. Qwiklabs Assessment : “Editing Files Using Substrings”
I’m excited to have you on my channel and look forward to your contributions to the learning community. By the end of this course:
- you’ll be able to manipulate files and processes on your computer’s operating system. You’ll also have learned about regular expressions a very powerful tool for processing text files
- you’ll get practice using the Linux command line on a virtual machine.
And, this might feel like a stretch right now, but you’ll also write a program that processes a bunch of errors in an actual log file and then generates a summary file. That’s a super useful skill for IT Specialists to know.
-:Skills you will learn:-
- Setting up your Development Environment
- Regular Expression (REGEX)
- Testing in Python
- Automating System Administration Tasks with Python
- Bash Scripting
