DeNormalised NOSQL Roadshow 2012 (Sept 20-21)

This September, the first DeNormalised NoSQL conference will be held at Skills Matter in London. On the first day there will be talks on Cassandra, Neo4J, MongoDB and other NoSQL solutions. On the second day there will be a number of hands on training sessions with NoSQL technologies. Find out more here.

Richard Low's Cassandra Tutorial

This Cassandra training course covers everything you need to know, to successfully build applications using Cassandra. You will also learn how to deploy, scale and maintain your Cassandra cluster.

In this Cassandra course you will both learn how to develop with Cassandra, including about data model concepts, application design, APIs and drivers, as well as how to administer Cassandra: you will learn all aspects of implementing your first cluster, configuring it, scaling it as well as covering diagnosis, troubleshooting and operational tips.

Ian Robinson and Jim Webber's Neo4J Tutorial

"Graph databases like Neo4j are an esoteric and powerful member of the NOSQL family. For highly connected data, graph databases can be thousands of times faster than relational databases, making Neo4j popular for managing complex data across many domains from finance to social, and telecoms to geospatial. This intensive two-day tutorial provides a mixture of theory and hands-on practical sessions to demonstrate the capabilities of graph data and the Neo4j database. Find out more here.

MongoDB for Developers

This two-day course spans the MongoDB gamut, covering CRUD, schema design, performance tuning, map-reduce, replication, and sharding.

This course prepares you to:

  • Understand the MongoDB command shell, query API, and driver tools.
  • Design schemas that take advantage of the document data model and of MongoDB’s core features.
  • Understand how typical RDBMS schemas can be migrated to MongoDB.
  • Build efficient indexes and troubleshoot slow queries.
  • Configure both master/slave replication and replica sets.
  • Determine when to set up a shard cluster and how to configure it.
  • Troubleshoot common issues and failure scenarios.

Udi Dahan's Advanced Distributed Systems Design with SOA

This very intensive 5-day workshop will help you take the pain out of designing large-scale distributed systems. New technologies make it easier to comply with today’s communications and security standards, but they won't magically provide you with a robust and scalable system. Join Udi for a course packed with the wisdom of companies like SUN, Amazon and eBay. Tried-and-true theories and fallacies will be shown, helping you to avoid costly mistakes. Communications patterns like publish/subscribe and correlated one-way request/response will be demonstrated, in conjunction with advanced object-oriented state management practices for long-running workflows. If you enjoy deep architectural discussion, join! To find out more, please go here
