Getting Started with Spark: How Smart is your App?

Have you had a taste of the performance and power of Apache Spark and want more? Tired of writing all that boilerplate code that comes with traditional Hadoop MapReduce? Or are you just interested in Big Data and want to learn about the Next Big Thing in cluster computing?

Join us for an introduction to Spark and how it can help make your application smarter. We will also talk about our upcoming Hackathon and what you need to do to prepare as well as details on the hangout. The Hackathon is scheduled for May 28th through May 30th.

You might want to bring along your own laptop to follow along with the discussion and steps in the Bluemix trial.

Snacks/Beverages will be provided.
