  http://www.amazon.com/Operating-Systems-Design-Implementation-Edition/dp/0131429388 http://www.amazon.com/Operating-Systems-Design-Implementatio... That's the book Linus Torvalds read. :)

  For implementation of database systems, Gray and Reuter's Transaction Processing: Concepts and Techniques http://www.amazon.com/Transaction-Processing-Concepts-Techniques-Management/dp/1558601902 http://www.amazon.com/Transaction-Processing-Concepts-Techni.... For the ideas behind relational databases, I like C.J. Date's Introduction to Database Systems, http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Database-Systems-C-Date/dp/0201385902 http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Database-Systems-C-Date/d....

  I think you could find some references to useful resources here: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-830-database-systems-fall-2010/index.htm http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput... Unfortunately no video lectures.

  Berkeley's got a solid database class up on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=-XXv-cvA_iBVK2QzAV-R7NMA1ZkaiR2y https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=-XXv-cvA_iBVK2QzAV-... Berkeley webcasts are awesome... there's an OS class up there that I highly recommend as well. Here's the link to their CS classes: http://webcast.berkeley.edu/series.html#c,d,Computer_Science http://webcast.berkeley.edu/series.html#c,d,Computer_Science
