Big Data - No Fluff - lets get started with Hadoop #4

Details

Welcome again to the Oslo Hadoop Big Data Vikings Meetup #4 both to our wonderful existing members and all the new Big Data Vikings! You are all very welcome!

As always we will present a great introduction to Big Data, show you what its all about, give some exciting real examples. And this session Christmas Comes Early!!!

Our focus in this session is realtime IOT, sensors and secure data transfer courtesy of Dataflow from Hortonworks And as if that was not amazing enough we have a real juicy hands on getting started with Apache Spark!!!. The content is for everyone no matter your skills and you will gain some valuable knowledge and insights.

We are also interested to find some core Big Data Vikings both individuals and companies that can sponsor to help support the group and ensure we build a healthy open community.

Just contact me or the other organizers if you wish to help or if you have any questions. We are looking now into establishing a chat and discussion Q&A forum to help implement our goal to build knowledge and to support everyone in getting started both in and outside the Meetup with Big Data.
