This is a lecture collection created by Roger Wattenhofer of ETH Zurich and Microsoft Research.

It is a teaching of a lot of the theory shared via PODC ( http://www.podc.org/ ) in recent years.

As lectures notes it's aimed at being taught in 2 hour blocks, but if you've found yourself out of touch with distributed computing then as Roger says in his email asking for help from other members of PODC:

"I sometimes call the course the “Pearls of Distributed Computing”, as I believe that teaching the nicest algorithms and techniques is better than teaching a complete picture of the most important results."

One of my favorite lectures when I was still studying at the ETH.

Thanks buro9!

I'm curious what other resources would be good for Distributed Computing. I'll try to go over these.

Thanks again!
