Comment on New Coursera class, "Startup Engineering"

Comments

This looks like an extremely expansive menu of topics, pretty much anything on that list could be an entire 10 week course in itself.

Right, the idea is a survey course with links for depth. Many of these are areas you need to have at least some familiarity with at the inception of a new company, and they really aren't taught well (even at a survey level) within academia at the present time. This is a first step towards remedying that; hopefully more in-depth courses will follow.

This is a powerful approach. I know a lot of really brilliant people who want to "do a startup" but they don't have the tools and don't even know what tools they need to start building. Thanks in advance for teaching this course!
