It was primarily an introduction to them, so it explored some core concepts at a high level.  We looked at why distributed systems are difficult to build (right), the CAP theorem, consensus, scaling shared data and CRDTs.</p> <p>There was some interest in making the slides available online. I’m not sure how useful they are without narration, but here they are anyway for posterity.</p>
