Working with Big Data LiveLessons (Video Training): Infrastructure, Algorithms, and Visualizations
with Paul Dix
Overview
Working with Big Data: Infrastructure, Algorithms, and Visualizations LiveLessons presents a high level overview of big data and how to use key tools to solve your data challenges. This introduction to the three areas of big data includes:
- Infrastructure - how to store and process big data
- Algorithms - how to integrate algorithms into your big data stack and an introduction to classification
- Visualizations - an introduction to creating visualizations in JavaScript using D3.js
The goal was not to be exhaustive, but rather, to provide a higher level view of how all the pieces of a big data architecture work together.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
