“Cloudera Administrator Training for Apache Hadoop helped me to advance my use of Apache Hadoop and cultivate a better understanding of the platform’s inner workings. The course material, interactive labs and exercises really helped cement together all the little bits and pieces that I had bumped into prior to the class into a useful mental model of how Apache Hadoop works.” Eric Marshall, Senior System Administrator
• Installing and managing other Apache Hadoop projects • Diagnosing, tuning and solving Apache Hadoop issues
Audience
This course is intended for experienced developers who wish to write, maintain, and/or optimize Apache Hadoop jobs. A background in Java is preferred, but experience with other programming language such as PHP, Python, or C# is sufficient. Knowledge of algorithms and other computer science topics is a plus. Upon completion of the course, attendees are able to attempt the Cloudera Certified Developer for Apache Hadoop (CCDH) exam. Certification is a great differentiator; it helps establish individuals as leaders in their field, providing customers with tangible evidence of their skills.
