Description
This is the only course you need to crack your system design interviews.
System design problems have become a major part of the interview process at big tech companies. This is a great way to test a candidate's knowledge of computer science as well as his problem solving capability.
However, these problems are especially difficult for students who are fresh out of college and have no experience in developing real world applications. This course has been designed keeping this problem in mind.
This is a 'learn by doing' course. We believe in giving you enough theoretical knowledge followed by getting our hands dirty with practical problems.
Various assignments, quizzes, coding exercises, case studies and reading materials have been included in this course to ensure you have complete grasp over each topic. Completing all the exercises will help you to understand the content in greater detail.
The field of system design is very wide. There is no fixed roadmap which students can follow and then confidently proceed to pass their system design interviews. We have accumulated all the scattered topics to create a well defined course which will teach you everything you need to crack any system design interview.
What will you learn?
