Learn to use Python for developing Map Reduce applications

Hadoop is a hot new technology that is growing everyday in its adaption in the Big Data world. However, Hadoop is built using Java and application developers need to know/learn Java for developing MapReduce applications. Python is a very popular programming language that makes the development of applications simple and easy. Hadoop provides a way by which MapReduce applications can be built using Python. This way, developers can use existing knowledge and code base for quickly developing MapReduce applications.

This intent of this course is to help Python developers learn the concepts and techniques for developing real world applications in Hadoop. It walks the learner through 5 examples of increasing difficulty for mastering MapReduce through Python.
