I'd suggest the posts / talks from Brendan Gregg, a performance expert at Netflix, that have featured on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=brendangregg.com. Most students will likely find themselves employed working on web / cloud systems and should find the sort of topics he covers to be valuable.
