Who this course is for:
- This course is best for students with some prior programming or scripting ability. We will treat you as a beginner when it comes to MapReduce and getting everything set up for writing MapReduce jobs with Python, MRJob, and Amazon’s Elastic MapReduce service – but we won’t spend a lot of time teaching you how to write code. The focus is on framing data analysis problems as MapReduce problems and running them either locally or on a Hadoop cluster. If you don’t know Python, you’ll need to be able to pick it up based on the examples we give. If you’re new to programming, you’ll want to learn a programming or scripting language before taking this course.
