Hadoop fundamentals & "Electricomics" (open source digital comics)

WE'RE BACK! Whoooop. Sorry it's been a while but I'm exceptionally lazy.

Talk 1: An introduction to the Hadoop ecosystem - Daniel Cook

Everyone has at least heard of Hadoop these days and probably gone through a trivial word count example. This talk aims to cover the fundamentals of the Hadoop filesystem and MapReduce for those not already familiar but without word count! We then go on to explain the significance of distributed compute and schema on read to the business and how we can get value out of a big pot of data. The Hadoop ecosystem is overwhelming in terms of the number of technologies and buzzwords, hopefully we can demystify some of this!

Talk 2: "Electricomics" project for open source digital comics using HTML5/JS/CSS - Dave Crane

No idea what this is about but he must be a smart guy 'cos he's got his name on some books (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dave-Crane/e/B001JP18JC).
