AppDynamics: From Basics to Performance Mastery
Application performance issues cause 60% of customer-impacting incidents, making proactive monitoring critical for production systems. This course equips operations engineers to build observable distributed applications through hands-on work with AppDynamics for automatic discovery, transaction analysis, and intelligent alerting. You'll diagnose performance bottlenecks using snapshot-driven troubleshooting, eliminate alert fatigue by configuring baseline-driven health rules integrated with IT operations tools, and democratize observability through executive dashboards with automated reporting. This course eliminates the hours spent on manual log analysis across microservices. With hands-on labs, you'll simulate production scenarios including checkout slowdowns, database N+1 query patterns, and alert integration workflows. This course is designed for operations engineers, DevOps practitioners, SREs, application developers, and anyone responsible for monitoring, supporting, or optimizing production applications. If you work with distributed systems or want to strengthen your observability and incident-response skills, you’re in the right place. A basic understanding of web applications, APIs, and how backend services communicate will help you move quickly through the course. Familiarity with command-line tools and general application architecture (tiers, services, databases) is useful but not required. By course completion, you'll identify performance bottlenecks within minutes, reduce alert noise by 50%+, configure multi-channel notifications for sub-5-minute incident response, and deploy enterprise-scale monitoring with RBAC governance.

8 Most Controversial Terms in AI, Explained
This is aimed at absolutely anyone interested in AI, from c-suite and software engineers to curious parents and engaged amateurs. No technical background is necessary, as no matter your background you will leave much better informed about key (and controversial) terms in AI. You will learn about 8 of the key terms used in AI - which are bandied around as if everyone should know them. Each term comes with complex and storied histories and implications, relevant to both practitioners and interested onlookers. What does 'stochastic parrot' actually mean, and are LLMs merely parrots? Do language models actually 'reason' and has the idea of 'emergent behaviors' been debunked already? Why is the term 'open source' being replaced with 'open weights' and what on earth is meant by 'artificial general intelligence'? I challenge anyone to leave this short 3-5 hour course without a much more nuanced understanding of the key debates in AI.

Agile Organization
The theory of Agile is simple. However, it takes experience, knowledge, and expertise to scale it successfully. In this course, you will focus on leading change at an organizational level and scaling Agile appropriately. When studying Agile application success stories and theory, it's easy to think in terms of adopting "best practices." However, what's best for one industry, company, and most importantly, culture is not always the best for another. Not every aspect of the business is suitable for the application of Agile. Not every organization will benefit from adopting Agile, and not every leader will facilitate yet another change to success. In this course, you will be introduced to seven different change management theories and learn how to best use and apply them in practice. You will also learn how to scale Agile in your organization, what to look for when looking for best use cases, and what signs serve as clear indicators that Agile is not an appropriate philosophy to apply.
