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"
In the fall of 2023 we will be offering this unique class that you will find at no other university on the planet. Come listen to these eminent leaders discuss their vision of the future of software-powered businesses. The class is only offered in the Autumn quarter for 1 credit; and is scheduled to meet on Tuesdays at 3PM. It is open to any on campus or remote Stanford student.
