Introduction to Data Modeling with Apache Cassandra

For this meetup we are excited to be joined by Jim Hatcher, Software Architect for IHS.

What You'll Learn At This Meetup:

Wonder how to get started with data modeling and Apache Cassandra? Here is a starting tour of how to get started. Translating from the knowledge you already have to the knowledge you need to effective with Cassandra development.

Directions:

• People can enter the parking garage from Spring Valley eastbound and from the Tollway access road southbound.

• If coming north on the Tollway, exit Spring Valley and loop around under the bridge to the southbound access road.

• If coming south on the Tollway, just exit Spring Valley and follow the access road.

• Park in any visitor spot in the parking garage. There should be ample visitor spots available.

• From the parking garage take the elevator to the lobby (if necessary) and then in the lobby take the elevator to the 5th floor

• After a certain time, a badge may be required to get to the 5th floor. We will have someone in the lobby with a sign to assist in this case.

• A big thank you to Infor for hosting! Food and drinks will be served, hope to see you there!
