Every company needs software to track their work and report progress on their strategic initiatives. Jira, the powerful project management tool from Atlassian, is one of the most popular tracking tools used by business, development, and support teams. But for every software application, there's an administrator who needs to correctly configure the settings, manage users, complete customization requests, and ensure the application supports growth and change in an organization. This course was designed to guide application admins down the path to successful Jira administration, helping them master the tools and best practices that make a Jira instance robust and efficient. Instructor Rachel Wright covers the basic skills and processes needed to successfully administer and customize Jira. Learn how to manage users, roles, and groups; create projects; build new workflows from scratch; manage permissions and notifications; and more.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is all about understanding who has access to what, when, and why. IAM might not be the first thing that people talk about when referring to cybersecurity, but it's hugely important as the first thing hackers look to compromise is your identity. In this new course, Andrew Chanthaphone introduces you to the job role of Identity and Access Management Manager. Learn about the basics of IAM, such as different methods to authenticate a user, different authorization models, the user lifecycle, and the importance of certifying user access. Then move on to the role that the IAM Manager plays on the larger team, including how your decisions impact others in the organization, how you can mentor junior analysts, and how you can manage senior analysts and engineers. Explore specific skills and job functions of an IAM Manager, as well as how to land your first IAM Manager job.

You’re comfortable with the basics of writing in Java, but you want to level up your skills and be more productive. In this course, Bethan Palmer has exactly what you need, with topics including generics, multi-threading, inputs and outputs, and more. After explaining the differences between versions of Java, Bethan dives into generics in Java, advanced data structures, and functional programming. She covers concurrency in Java, including how to use the Runnable interface, the ExecutorService, and synchronized methods. Bethan highlights topics around input and output like reading from System.in with a scanner, reading files with BufferedReader, and using try-with-resources. She also guides you through working with files in Java, creating a new file, working with directories, and copying files in Java. Each chapter includes challenges and solutions to reinforce what you’re learning.

Repeating code by writing boilerplate code over and over again can often lead to mistake-ridden, messy code. In this course, Anna-Katharina Wickert shows you how to use generics in Go to write cleaner and easier-to-read code. Anna-Katharina shows how you can use generics—long on developers’ wishlists and introduced in Go 1.18—to write functions and types that work with a set of types instead of one concrete type. She covers type parameters, typesets, and type inference, and puts it all into practice with examples and looks into new packages shipped along with generics.
