Hadoop for Beginners

Details
"I am a Hadoop trainer, would love to present some of the course on Hadoop introduction." - David Norwood (http://www.davidnorwood.name/) who focuses on implementation and integration for Prognosive (http://www.prognosive.com), a small Big Data startup.
David will be providing an abstract soon but the title says it all. Want to get some exposure to Big Data or Hadoop? This will be a great meeting to get that and have an open forum for all the questions you have.
Meeting Details:
The meeting will begin at 6:30pm allowing members time to network, arrive and enjoy pizza. At 7pm, ASUG will give an introductory welcome, and will be shortly followed by the presentation. After the presentation we will be giving away some awesome schwag that was kindly donated to us by SpringSource. As always, everyone has the option to head downstairs to Aja for networking and drinks after the meeting.
Important Note:
Parking at the One Alliance Center is $10 max. If you wish to go to Aja after the meeting they will validate part of your parking. If parking is a problem, some members park at Phipps Plaza for free and walk over. ASUG does NOT validate parking.
