In coursera there is cloud Computing course which has assignments like implementing a failure detector and also implementing a cache with replication/ fail over and all . And then they have test cases too . Does anyone have review on the course. Is it good one ? I like to be a good engineer in Backend/ Infra space. So instead of just leetcoding I am thinking it can build good foundation. Looking for inputs . I want to grow into SDE3 level engineer in places like AWS, GCP. 225K 10 yrs experience Bay Area.
There are reviews on the site. Just see how the course is rated and what others have said
I know somebody who took CS 425 at UIUC through the remote MCS. They said the course was super hard but very rewarding. I believe CCC and CS425 are about the same except you don’t have ta support in CCC. Doing an online Masters may be a better option. See UIUC MCS or GATech OMSCS. Both are cheap and will probably help you towards your end goal better
Actually the course preps you for system design interviews very well
I want to take this specialization too, let me know if you are looking to do it together.
