I am trying to learn more about distributed systems.

Any one have a recommendation for a MOOC or a book that could help?

I am specifically looking to understand frameworks such as Dask or Ray and how to build a similar system from scratch.

Thanks!

I haven't done much in Dask and never heard of Ray, so might not be applicable directly.

But a general book about distributed systems that I highly recommend and one you'll see often referred to on HN is Designing Data-Intensive Applications. Seriously great book and one I often go back to for fundamentals about distributed systems.

I appreciate it, will look up that book
Not sure if this is specific to your ask but I've been enjoying this class. It covers many fundamental concepts.

Thanks, will look into this
