Teaching

Course site Using Advanced Data Structures in Modern Applications, a Pluralsight course which teaches various hashing schemes, approximative filters, spatial indexes, disjoint-set structures, tries and suffix trees. Focus is on practicality, examples and real-world scenarios. 2017.
Course site Introduction to Algorithmics, a Pluralsight course which teaches complexity analysis, data structures and algorithms with a strong focus on examples and intuition rather than mathematical proofs and formulas, 2016.
pdf There's a new kid in town, a single page explaining why it makes sense to consider alternatives to general-purpose row-stores when chosing a database for an application, 2015.
pdf Size Matters, a note about I/O and table design in relational databases, with focus on why and how the choices of column widths and row orderings impact performance, 2011.
