Introduction to Big Data
What is Big Data? + Key Reasons to Learn Big Data Analytics starting with a vendor-agnostic approach:
This Intro to Big Data is a unique approach to help you act on data for real business gain – not what a tool can do, but what you can do with the output from the tool. Big data as defined by Wiki is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications.
In this hands-on Introduction to Big Data Course, learn to leverage big data analysis tools and techniques to foster better business decision-making – before you get into specific products like Hadoop training (just to name one). Learn ways of storing data that allow for efficient processing and analysis, and gain the skills you need to store, manage, process, and analyse massive amounts of unstructured data to create an appropriate data lake.
