I'm going to be working through http://matt.might.net/teaching/compilers/spring-2015/ this semester. Looks pretty good so far.

Use an exploit on caprica to gain root access: +10%

I wonder if this offer stands from semester to semester, and therefore if he seeded an exploit (or several, given how the extra credit reads) or whether the whole thing is just more of his light-hearted style.

But I definitely agree: that course looks great.

I've been looking for a databases course focusing on the systems side of things (concurrency control, query planning, disk, etc.), but it seems like it's too niche. If anyone knows of one, I'd be really happy to hear about it.

I remember learning that stuff from the book by jeffrey Ullman. Try this page http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/fcdb/aut07/index.html#le... http://www.amazon.com/Database-Systems-Complete-Book-2nd/dp/... this too http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...

Semi-related question: Anyone know of any good courses online that are intro to molecular and cellular biology related? Thanks, my grad school grades aren't the best and I think it's my lack of bio foundation that's hurting.

also: great books on those topics have existed for decades

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The whole Algorithms section is theoretical CS.

There's a lot more to TCS than algorithms. Furthermore, the most theoretical course there is the Princeton one. The rest all focus more on using algorithms to do things than on theory.

Can you recommend some courses?

Any suggestions? I'm also looking for some resources on those topics.
