It’s a no brainer that Google is one of the top companies in the world, recruiting some of the best talent from around the globe. But getting your foot in the door at a company like Google requires a candidate to not only have a solid foundation in Computer Science, but to also be able to adapt, develop and maintain technical skills in a constantly evolving market.
Understanding this, Google has created their Guide for Technical Development, a list of courses and resources, many from Coursera, which are meant to help students further their technical skills and stay ahead of evolving industry standards.
