Cloud Computing
"It was my favorite class at Stanford by a long shot, and really opened my eyes to the future that is coming faster than any of us realize."
"This class was one of the best experiences I had back at Stanford when I was an undergrad and master's student."
" It was one of the most influential classes I took as an undergrad.
At the time I didn't think I'd be in tech, but since then I've founded a couple start-ups and taught myself how to program"
