001 Introduction
We have identified sixteen building blocks that are crucial in designing modern
systems.
System design borrows many great concepts from distributed systems. We have
an excellent course for learners who are interested in revisiting and reviewing
their concepts on distributed systems. Apart from distributed systems, some
basic concepts on computer networking and operating systems are also helpful
before taking this course.

Introduction:
1.Course Structure for The introduction
Modern System section is composed of five chapters. The
Design
first chapter introduces the course and its key features. The second chapter
guides on how to prepare for the system design interview. The third
chapter talks about different types of abstractions. Next, we discuss some
indispensable non-functional characteristics that every large-scale system
should have. We wrap this chapter up with back-of-the-envelope
calculations that enable us to estimate resources during our design
problems.
3. Design problems: This section is the meat of the course and is carefully
crafted from thirteen design problems.
Note: Although we did our best to keep the chapters independent, our
readers will find it useful to read them in the given sequence.
