Doug's Recommended Courses

When Doug W.’s roommate turned him onto Coursera, Doug stayed up late into the night to learn more about databases. At work, he immediately applied what he learned through his courses. He quickly became a top performer, and expanded his learning on Coursera with software development courses. After successfully completing a combination of data science courses and software development courses, he was recruited by Amazon to start a full-time job as a software engineer.
