Network Principles in Practice: Linux Networking

Welcome! In this course, titled "Network Principles in Practice: Linux Networking," we delve into the dynamic domain of Linux Networking, featuring a robust set of features essential for contemporary networked systems. Departing from traditional approaches, our emphasis is on practical application over foundational knowledge. Throughout the course, you'll explore the integration of concepts into Linux, gaining hands-on experience in architecting and implementing complex networks and systems. From understanding the Linux kernel's role to building gateways and navigating virtual networking and container orchestration with Kubernetes, each week offers valuable insights and practical skills. Join us on this journey where understanding meets real-world application, providing a comprehensive exploration of network systems. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Masters of Science in Computer Science (MS-CS) degrees offered on the Coursera platform. This fully accredited graduate degree 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.

Interesting course well put together. I enjoyed Bash scripting and containerlab. An easy pathway for "MS-CS".

the explaination are very good but sometimes, it's clear what you are required to do for homework hence you spend more time to understand what to do than to solve the actual problem.

Very instructional, the exercises test what you should have learned, you also learn some details of vagrant, containers, and docker; requires a good working knowledge of Linux (1-2 months experience)
