[ddj] FREE online course "Introduction to Databases" from Stanford University School of Engineering

Wed Sep 21 09:24:04 UTC 2011

I'm very interested in following/participating with the group but I don't
know about the course. It is very much designed for computer scientists
interested about technical decisions regarding database design. I've signed
up to the Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning courses.

If the course ends up being a little too technical, there are a couple of
other options that we could pursue. P2PU (http://www.p2pu.org) seems like
something worth taking a look at as a group.
