Don't want to be too disparaging, but this to me doesn't seem to be an 'Introduction to Genomics', but more an introduction to read mapping and variant detection in human (or more broadly diploid) genomes.
Genomics stretches vastly beyond this - assembly and annotation to start with.
I'd argue the most interesting problem space for software engineers is outside of what is covered in the document.
The space of startups cashing in on genomics but making shiny web apps that software engineers need to understand something about human diploid genetic variation is far higher though. Thats where the money and engineers are, not in fundamental algo development for slimemould assembly.
