Learning materials of DNA sequencing

I found the teaching materials of Ben Langmead who is the author of bowtie and bowtie2. This is a great material to learn DNA sequencing.

But does it really align with the effectiveness? The Heng's research on his blog gives the chance for people to rethink the high level languages to be used in Bioinformatics.
