About the Course

The course is intended for individuals looking to understand the basics of software engineering as they relate to building large software systems that leverage big data. You will be introduced to software engineering concepts necessary to build and scale large, data intensive, distributed systems. Starting with software engineering best practices and loosely coupled, highly cohesive data microservices, the course takes you through the evolution of a distributed system over time. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s MS in Data Science or MS in Computer Science degrees offered on the Coursera platform. These fully accredited graduate degrees offer targeted courses, short 8-week sessions, and pay-as-you-go tuition. Admission is based on performance in three preliminary courses, not academic history. CU degrees on Coursera are ideal for recent graduates or working professionals.

Solid advanced-level course for software architects looking to broaden horizons. The course is challange-based and requires experience with Object Oriented Programming, plus basic experience in Java.

Make sure you have a basic to intermediate understanding of Java to complete the Assignments. The instructions can be vague and implied given the experience you're supposed to already have with Java.

Lectures seemed to have little correlation to coursework. The environment setup for coursework was often tedious.

Don't take this course. The files provided won't run, even when I try with multiple setups and following advice from students in forums. These problems have been plaguing the course for months with no resolution

It seems to be a random selection of topics, but there are some interesting recommendations for further reading.
