Distributed Systems: A free online class

Watch the videos and enjoy. You will learn more effectively if you are actively working on designing/building/maintaining a distributed system while you study -- so start making something! (Examples of what you could work on: build a multi-user chat system, build a data analysis using Hadoop, attempt to understand Paxos and build your own implementation (note that Paxos is known for being hard to understand...).) If you are already taking a college-level class on distributed systems then watch these videos before or after your lectures to review the material.

Check out the class project chat servers, and try them out. If folks start using them, they may become a great way to get questions anwered. (Or, they will become spam honeypots. We'll see.)

If you are an instructor and want to use these videos as a part of your class -- feel free to link to this site and send your students here to watch. Please do not make your own copies of the videos or slides, or change them; I like knowing how many people are using and enjoying the videos, and being able to fix and improve them at will. If you want to do something that involves copying this content, send me an email -- I'm happy to listen to your ideas.
