Explore how to interact with computers at a basic systems level through understanding Linux, mastering the algorithms used to manage large data sets, and learning the foundation of data structures like blockchain.
Request InfoSystems Programming refers to creating applications and programs that bridge the gap between programming and the the physical hardware of a computer. Much of this is based on Linux, an open-source software platform that’s often used to manage server and computer interactions. Because Linux is open source, it’s used as the basis of many other operating systems, like Debian, Arch, RedHat and their derivatives.

Systems Programming is all used to interact with computers at a basic systems level or “low level." The ability to effectively work with Linux and the C programming language allows programmers to bridge the gap between the software that runs on a device and the physical hardware that powers it.
Writing code that allows computer software to interact with hardware.
Creating programs that allow computers to communicate with other computers, computers with other servers, and servers with other servers.
Understanding established algorithms and processes that allow efficient editing, storage, and manipulation of data sets.
Ensuring access to programs and hardware is secure against external threats.
