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.
Andy Pavlo's lectures are one of the best database internals resources available for free on the web.
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.
I am already a fan after watching the first 2 minute. He does an "OG" intro.
Spring 2018 is coming in couple of weeks:

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.

The thumbnails are pretty funny.
Yes, oddly intense. Makes it look like Mr Robot or something.
+1 Pavlo is wonderful (in person as well)
Thanks for this, will be useful for training future juniors!
Would you really start a junior off with this?
This course doesn't require any degree or work experience at all, so... yes?
Well this is a graduate level course so I wouldn't say it doesn't require any degree or work experience. In general the numbering scheme at CMU is xx-yyy where xx is the department code (15 for CS department) and yyy is the course number (where 500 and above is graduate level).
So, about where a junior programmer would be? And this would be a good course for them if they needed to implement database systems?
Seeing as we develop a database, this would be perfect

This looks really really good! Thanks!
