What is taught in distributed systems?
Distributed systems is the study of how to build a computer system where the state of the program is divided over more than one machine (or “node”). This course is in active development. At the moment, it consists of a series of short videos.
How do I become a distributed system engineer?
What does a distributed systems engineer do?
- A bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science or a similar field.
- Deep knowledge of all major concepts related to computers and of electronics in general.
- Experience with designing, implementing and maintaining data-centric and scalable applications.
Are distributed systems useful?
To complete overall data processing, more computers are added. Depending on the problem being solved, one might need a distributed system, whether it be distribution in space, time or both. These are some fundamental requirements that enable a set of computers to work together.
Is it worth learning distributed systems?
It’s always good to have people in this field that know how to design distributed systems. It’s worth it, but probably not for better career opportunities. As almost anything else for your career would have a bigger impact and would take less time and effort.
