We are studying B+ trees in CS352 and that has caused me to think about the design of some of the file systems in Linux. I have been faithfully served by ext3 for quite some time but am interested in the additional performance and features offered by some alternatives.
BTW, I hated CS352 when I was at UMKC. Maybe it's who is teaching it. It was one of the main reasons I stopped going there. There was a large shift in course setups and degree req's when it all got merged with the School of Engineering and into SICE...
I was considering getting a four-year IT degree at UMKC but I'm having second thoughts now that I've spoken to a counselor and found that even though I'm getting an AAS in IT from JCCC, none of the technical courses will transfer or count for anything. This is because UMKC's "IT" degree is actually a thinly disguised CIS degree with a bunch of business classes as well. Oh, and two actual technical IT courses thrown in so they can call it an Information Technology degree ("look! it has some IT classes!").
Does anyone know if KU's IT degree is any better, or if there is a four-year institution in the Greater KC Metro Area which offers a real IT degree program? A B.S. in IT would be a nice thing to have in this day and age.
