Recommendations

Keep in mind

Aim to get to a level where you can comfortably read and understand code snippets, run code in a code editor, and perform basic terminal commands. You don’t need to be an expert, but having a foundational understanding will significantly enhance your learning experience.

Learn basic programming concepts

Before diving into cloud computing, it’s essential to have a solid understanding of basic programming concepts. This includes variables, data types, control structures (like loops and conditionals), functions, and object-oriented programming principles. Familiarity with these concepts will help you grasp more advanced topics in the course.

Learn to use a code editor

A code editor is an essential tool for software and cloud infrastructure development. We recommend using Visual Studio Code (VS Code) due to its versatility, extensive features, and wide range of extensions that enhance productivity.

Learn basic Linux terminal commands

Familiarity with Linux terminal commands is crucial for navigating and managing cloud environments, as many cloud services run on Linux-based systems. Learning basic commands will help you perform tasks such as file manipulation, system monitoring, and software installation.
