- (In Progress) Enterprise Big Data – this book focuses on how to architect and build enterprise big data systems.
Dave is also the head coach for the Eagan High School FIRST Robotics program with over 150 students and over 60 mentors. Dave also likes to build things like trebuchets, go carts, and rain barrel watering systems.
This session will focus on the essential skills that are needed by software architects on a daily basis from ideation to product delivery. For many architects, it’s not the technology related areas that give you problems, but people related areas.
This session will focus on big data tools. It will take a broad high level look at big data technologies such as Kafka, HBase, HDFS, Spark, Hive, and variety of others. It will also include discussions of AWS big data technologies.
This session will focus on architecting enterprise big data systems. This will include developing a big data architectural perspective, looking at key big data capabilities, how to deal with governance, and other aspects of big data in an enterprise environment including cloud.
Zero fluff.
