Hi UW CSE students!
We’re piloting a “Boot Camp Style Class” at UW this quarter because lots of students have asked if Google could teach a class on campus to cover the topic of distributed computing on large data sets on clusters of computers via MapReduce.
So, without further ado, we present: The Google UW MapReduce Bootcamp Class! Interested? Read further:
Class Title: MapReduce Bootcamp v1.0
Synopsis: 3 week Bootcamp style class to learn how to use MapReduce to process large data sets. Covers basics of MapReduce and how to apply them through a series of exercises to build a simple search engine over Wikipedia. Read full syllabus here.
