Your industry informed, hands-on pathway into devops engineering
An immersive programme that gives you the skills and experience you need to become a top-performing devops engineer
Learn by building and deploying production-grade systems, with support from a thriving community of industry experts.
Get experience building real industry systems through industry projects
Our industry projects put you in the position of an engineer on the job. You are dropped into cloud infrastructure that mirrors what you’d find in the workplace. You are challenged to use step by step instructions to build their data pipelines and models, learning by doing.
Build a solid foundation in software engineering
Software Engineering
Learn the core of writing production ready code, following industry best practices.
You will build two different projects that will help you learn the basic and advanced concepts of Python, and other industry relevant tools such as the command line and version control tools, such as git and GitHub. In the first project you will create a command line assistant that helps you process multiple entries from IMDB. In the second project you build an implementation of the Hangman game using object oriented programming in Python.
