Course Introduction

Welcome to the course introduction, we'll try to go through the course syllabus and other out of course syllabus [some pratical knowledge] this notes may discuss about.

This notes will discuss most of the topics mentioned on the syllabus copy and also will discuss the case studies of other softwares, discuss about system designing [Noobs hand in trying to design systems and implementing them], I intend to keep writing on this notes even after I finish the course.

without any further ado let's dive into the syllabus:
