For DBs, I've been able to find plenty of books that dive into SQL/NoSQL syntax, but I haven't been able to find much on database design and theory.<p>I've had a similar problem looking for information on operating systems.<p>Any direction would be much appreciated!
For implementation of database systems, Gray and Reuter's <i>Transaction Processing: Concepts and Techniques</i> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Transaction-Processing-Concepts-Techniques-Management/dp/1558601902" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Transaction-Processing-Concepts-Techni...</a>. For the ideas behind relational databases, I like C.J. Date's <i>Introduction to Database Systems</i>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Database-Systems-C-Date/dp/0201385902" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Database-Systems-C-Date/d...</a>.
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Operating-Systems-Design-Implementation-Edition/dp/0131429388" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Operating-Systems-Design-Implementatio...</a><p>That's the book Linus Torvalds read. :)
Berkeley's got a solid database class up on youtube:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=-XXv-cvA_iBVK2QzAV-R7NMA1ZkaiR2y" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=-XXv-cvA_iBVK2QzAV-...</a><p>Berkeley webcasts are awesome... there's an OS class up there that I highly recommend as well.<p>Here's the link to their CS classes:<p><a href="http://webcast.berkeley.edu/series.html#c,d,Computer_Science" rel="nofollow">http://webcast.berkeley.edu/series.html#c,d,Computer_Science</a>
for databases this is pretty good:<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Database-Management-Systems-3rd-Edition/dp/0072465638" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Database-Management-Systems-3rd-Editio...</a><p>for Oses <a href="http://williamstallings.com/OS/OS6e.html" rel="nofollow">http://williamstallings.com/OS/OS6e.html</a><p>cheers
I think you could find some references to useful resources here:<p><a href="http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-830-database-systems-fall-2010/index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...</a><p>Unfortunately no video lectures.
