About the Course

Cloud computing systems today, whether open-source or used inside companies, are built using a common set of core techniques, algorithms, and design philosophies – all centered around distributed systems. Learn about such fundamental distributed computing "concepts" for cloud computing. Some of these concepts include: clouds, MapReduce, key-value/NoSQL stores, classical distributed algorithms, widely-used distributed algorithms, scalability, trending areas, and much, much more! Know how these systems work from the inside out. Get your hands dirty using these concepts with provided homework exercises. In the programming assignments, implement some of these concepts in template code (programs) provided in the C++ programming language. Prior experience with C++ is required. The course also features interviews with leading researchers and managers, from both industry and academia....

The course has a lot of content which the instructors read from the slides. Nothing exciting happens.

I got excited about the final assignment, and it turned out to be the C code using void pointers and all kinds of obfuscated code. No clarity on what needs to be done.

To be honest I could not finish the course. The lecture speaks to fast and I never had time to think about what I was listening to and get the information settled. I had to give up in the second week! That's a pity!

Too much technical. I would have preferred high level generic concepts. Also, the exercises were quite tricky for a beginner.
