On Databases, Tattoos, and Teaching Philosophies
“Building a database is like getting tattooed. You really want it to be correct the first time you do it. Changes are possible but they are painful.

Among the courses I'll be teaching in my first year at the W. P. Carey School at ASU is "CIS 440: Systems Design and Electronic Commerce."

(I'll also be teaching courses on business intelligence and enterprise analytics in the fall.)
