Developer Experience (DX)

Treat developers as customers. Build internal platforms, documentation, and tooling that reduce friction and improve engineering velocity.

Developer Experience (DX) is the new competitive advantage. This course teaches Platform Engineering principles to make developers happy and productive. You will learn to build Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) that self-service infrastructure. Master writing 'Docs as Code' to keep documentation fresh. We cover onboarding flows, reducing 'cognitive load', and measuring DX using DORA metrics. Essential for Platform teams and Engineering Managers.
