        <div>Hi Jonathan,</div><div><br/></div><div>I’m excited to hear that you’re working on a course that focuses on maintenance. I really wish my undergraduate CS program at Virginia Tech had a course that covered that topic. (Maybe they do now?)</div><div><br/></div><div>I’ve got some courses on LinkedIn Learning that you might be able to draw some inspiration from. There is not much academic rigor in the information that I present, though. </div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/learning/instructors/m-scott-ford">https://www.linkedin.com/learning/instructors/m-scott-ford</a><br/></div><div><br/></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>-Scott</div><div><br/></div>
