Programa - O que você aprenderá com este curso
Welcome
Welcome to the Big Data Specialization! We're excited for you to get to know us and we're looking forward to learning about you!
Big Data: Why and Where
Data -- it's been around (even digitally) for a while. What makes data "big" and where does this big data come from?
Characteristics of Big Data and Dimensions of Scalability
You may have heard of the "Big Vs". We'll give examples and descriptions of the commonly discussed 5. But, we want to propose a 6th V and we'll ask you to practice writing Big Data questions targeting this V -- value.
Data Science: Getting Value out of Big Data
We love science and we love computing, don't get us wrong. But the reality is we care about Big Data because it can bring value to our companies, our lives, and the world. In this module we'll introduce a 5 step process for approaching data science problems.
Foundations for Big Data Systems and Programming
Big Data requires new programming frameworks and systems. For this course, we don't programming knowledge or experience -- but we do want to give you a grounding in some of the key concepts.
Systems: Getting Started with Hadoop
Let's look at some details of Hadoop and MapReduce. Then we'll go "hands on" and actually perform a simple MapReduce task in the Cloudera VM. Pay attention - as we'll guide you in "learning by doing" in diagramming a MapReduce task as a Peer Review.
Avaliações
Principais avaliações do INTRODUÇÃO A BIG DATA
I love the course. It goes deep into the foundations, and then finishes up with an actual lab where you learn by practice. I greatly benefited from it and feel I have achieved a milestone in big data.
First of all i would like to take this opportunity to thanks the instructors the course is well structured and explained the foundations with real world problems with easy to understand the concepts.
A step by step approach stating from basic big data concept extending to Hadoop framework and hands on mapping and simple MapReduce application development effort. Very smooth learning experience.
The course does it job, but the lectures look outdated and lack interesting examples. A lot of classifications and definitions are presented, but it is hard to figure out how useful they really are.
