Software has pretty much become ubiquitous in our daily lives, not only computers and laptops but embedded in devices like switches, thermostats, refrigerators, and cable set-top boxes. This course will explore how software

and devices are interconnected. It will provide an overview of the types of teams, tools, languages and processes that help build products and systems that power business and your world, as well as potentially helping you solve problems

or create a product of your own someday. Some programming examples will be shown but no prior coding necessary!

Notes

Why when I’m registering do I join the Wait List?
Several of our courses are in high demand. In order to accommodate our members who are not tech-savvy and have trouble registering online, we created a registration system in which there is no advantage to registering early, no disadvantage to registering later.

When registering, you join the Wait List for each course. Don’t be alarmed. This does not mean the course is full. After the registration period is over, we run a lottery on the courses, and it randomly determines who is admitted to each course and who is not. You typically will receive notification regarding which courses you are admitted to, about two weeks before the start of the semester. If a course accepts 150 or more students, you are very likely to get into it.
