Green Software for Practitioners (LFC131)

The course provides a quick way to get a more or less complete orientation in Green Software, including many links to learn more about lots of topics.

The course material felt complete. Each of the principles of green software development were delved into in good detail, and I liked the multiple choice quiz at the end of each section to verify our understanding. For someone coming into this space, I learned that there is a lot that we can do as engineers to architect sustainable solutions for the problem of emissions.

I really enjoyed having all this material compiled in a single course structure. As someone that has been recently interested in the subject of sustainability in software, I am overwhelmed by the sheer number of terms and acronyms that are present in the industry, which makes it difficult to wrap one's head around.

I really enjoyed this topic. I wasn't aware of what goes into being net zero, and this helped me understand the terminology around the subject.

The course provided a comprehensive understanding of sustainable practices in software development, highlighting the importance of reducing carbon footprints in the tech industry.

The course was extremely helpful. It covered a wide range of topics, from basic concepts of green computing, to advanced strategies for enhancing carbon and energy efficiency. The lessons on measuring and reducing the carbon footprint of IT infrastructure were particularly valuable. Additionally, the course provided actionable steps and real-world examples, making it easy to understand how to apply these practices in various contexts. Overall, it significantly enhanced my understanding of the intersection between computing and environmental sustainability.

This course provided a comprehensive overview of how software development practices can be aligned with sustainability goals.

I recently completed the Green Software course, and found it incredibly enlightening and practical. The course provided comprehensive insights into reducing the carbon footprint of software, backed by examples and practices. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to make their software development practices more sustainable and eco-friendly.

The information from this course will be in the back of my mind when ordering new IT resources, consuming IT services, scheduling serve intensive batch jobs, designing software solutions, choosing infra locations etc., and will drive decision making in the greener direction where possible.

I gathered a sense of positivity into the future from the course. Also, I feel like it brought me in touch with what I can do personally. Normally these efforts seem far away from me as a developer, but the contrary was proven.

How the content was sectioned into specific topics. It made learning the new vocabulary, related to being a green software practitioner more digestible. I appreciated the flow of the material, and the contextual examples that were provided along the way. Thank you for your time in making this course!
