Thanks for this, will be useful for training future juniors!

voltagex_• 9 years ago

Would you really start a junior off with this?

empthought2• 9 years ago

This course doesn't require any degree or work experience at all, so... yes?

Andy Pavlo's lectures are one of the best database internals resources available for free on the web.

+1 Pavlo is wonderful (in person as well)

I haven't watched these videos, but I'm interested. Over time I've begun to consider database systems among the most important subjects in CS. For example, being able to perform multiple changes in a system within a transaction makes fault tolerance much simpler. Consider how many software installers are unable to handle a simple system crash. Although it's completely unsurprising, as modern operating systems don't typically provide tools to help with these kinds of issues.

I am already a fan after watching the first 2 minute. He does an "OG" intro.

The thumbnails are pretty funny.

thinkpad20• 9 years ago

Yes, oddly intense. Makes it look like Mr Robot or something.

JonasJSchreiber• 9 years ago

This looks really really good! Thanks!

Any other similar video series?

I just started watching once I got home. The intro with the gangster rap is funny and stupidly awkward, but the value proposition/pitch of all these amazing rich people like Ellison show you how cool databases are does not gain traction with me. Will definitely download it all and watch it later for the technical bits, but does anyone like tech to not be a guy with a reputation for massive ego, inspiring work culture that is famously bad, and dating women of "undetermined age" (quoting the prof)? Zuckerberg is just as bad. I mean come on.

On a related note. I personally was never able to find a resource for databases analogous to lambda the ultimate for programming languages. So I started a community dedicated to DBMS systems (building, papers, etc) on reddit. So if you're interested in this topic, please contribute.
