Hadoop Fans, we have scheduled additional developer sessions in both the bay area and NYC. Also, due to popular demand, we'll be offering a public sysadmin training session immediately following our March developer session in the Bay Area. If this goes well, we'll make this a regular offering.
Also, we've had great luck so far working with major Hadoop users in the bay area to provide more practical insight to local participants. In January, Facebook gave a great overview of how Hadoop and Hive revolutionized their data warehousing and analytics infrastructure, this month, Yahoo! will talk about running Hadoop at massive scale, and we're thrilled to have Twitter share their experience at our March session. Feedback from last month's session was incredible. Current upcoming sessions: February 22-24 - Bay Area - Developers: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/527260049 (sponsored by *Yahoo!*) March 10-12 - NYC - Developers: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/534680243 March 10-12 - DC - Developers: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/517223028 March 22-24 - Bay Area - Developers: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/564530526 (sponsored by *Twitter*) March 25 - Bay Area - *System Administrators*: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/570185440 April 5-7 - NYC - Developers: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/564589703 All of these training sessions include the option to take either the CCHD (developer) or CCHA (administrator) certification exam. This is a great way to distinguish yourself amidst rising demand for Hadoop in the job market. Demand continues grow aggressively: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=hadoop&l=&relative=1 Lastly, stay tuned for upcoming international sessions. We'll be offering training + certification in Asia (likely: Tokyo, Taipei) and the EU (likely London + another city) in the April / May time frame.
