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.

I liked the course very much, particularly programming part.
Interesting course well put together. I enjoyed Bash scripting and containerlab. An easy pathway for "MS-CS".
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)
Absolutely insightful, professor took care to prepare labs to test everything taught in an easy way which makes the information way easier to digest.

Good course. I've learned a lot of things. A bit complex for beginners.
Very well structured and designed course to fortify your networking knowledge. The course is based on previous class about Networking Foundations. Modules contain a lot of useful resources and hands-on labs with virtual machine and docker containers to simulate some network topology/situation. Really good class!
The curriculum is a perfect stepping stone for those looking to apply their networking teachings or use as a basis for network device configuration. Regardless, the class was interesting throughout, the professor was awesome, and the coursework was not too difficult for the average joe!

Excellent lecture content of critical Linux protocols for today's network engineers.
Very insightful into more advanced Linux networking features.

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.

Some good content, but the format of the course relies on assumption or guesswork at times. Explanations could be better. Final straw for me was at about 40% complete one of the self build docker builds just kept failing and I really don't have time to debug and fix. I thought this course would help me get over the strange block my brain has for networking, but to do so it really needs to be more fun and give better explanations.
