An Introduction to Hadoop for Big Data Analysis

Over the last few years, Hadoop has emerged as the de facto standard for storing and processing huge amounts of data, both structured and unstructured. Join Ian Wrigley, Director of Educational Curriculum at Cloudera, for an introduction to Hadoop and the ecosystem of open source projects that surround it. We'll discuss just how Hadoop stores data reliably, and what tools are available to process that data. Find out how you can get actionable insights from big data using skills you already have.

Ian Wrigley was the second hire in Cloudera's Educational Services department, and has taught thousands of people how to install, manage, and develop on Hadoop clusters. He authored the extremely popular Udacity Hadoop online course, which has had over 50,000 participants, as well as several instructor-led courses on Hadoop and its ecosystem of tools. As Director of Educational Curriculum, he currently manages the team responsible for creating all of Cloudera's training materials.
