Cloud Expo | Big Data Is a Big Deal: Running Hadoop in the Cloud

Get a solid understanding of the underpinnings and principles of Hadoop, perhaps the most sought after high-paying skill for a developer today.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Bruno Terkaly, an evangelist for Microsoft, will begin by illustrating how you build your own single node cluster of Hadoop on the Linux virtual machine (CentOS) for free so you can start learning immediately. It will begin with a raw Linux VM and all the needed components will be downloaded and installed. You can be up and running quickly in the cloud within 30 minutes. This session will contain code and will show no more than a few slides. We will learn about writing the low-level map/reduce code in Java, which is really the low-level assembly language of Hadoop code. From there we will introduce more efficient approaches to analyzing big data with Hadoop, running high level queries and analyzing crime information from San Francisco as the example.
