Are there equivalent 'Advanced Databases: The Self-Guided Online Course'?

Andy Pavlo's CMU 15-721: Advanced Database Systems is similar, where you will hack on Postgres to implement a Foreign Data Wrapper (FDW)

That class just uses my slides. It says so at the bottom of the page:

> The lecture slides used in the course are taken from Prof. Andy Pavlo's CMU 15-721 course

Just go to the source: https://15721.courses.cs.cmu.edu/spring2023/

Is there an accompanying textbook for your course or only the papers that are listed?

Not for the Advanced class. We cover state-of-the-art systems. Textbooks are about 10 years behind.

okay I'm curious - what are dirty systems programming skills, professor?

It's one of those things where you know it when you see it. I got 18 year old CMU students showing up knowing how write x86 SIMD intrinsics or ones with LLVM JIT experience. Dirty.
