Learn Hadoop
Cloudera’s Distribution for Hadoop is a free package built from the powerful, flexible, scalable Apache Hadoop software. To help you learn about Hadoop and how to use it, Cloudera offers public and private training, certification and online courseware.
Cloudera’s instructors can come directly to your company and deliver focused, private, on-site Hadoop training to your team. Or if you prefer, you and your team can join one of the many public training sessions we hold regularly in a variety of locations around the world. We offer courses aimed at developers, systems administrators and executives.
Cloudera delivers the industry’s only certification for software developers on Hadoop. Built on the content of our training courses, the program tests your knowledge of Hadoop’s operation and use. The Cloudera Certified Hadoop Engineer designation ensures you’ve mastered the material necessary to configure, run and use Hadoop in the enterprise. Organizations rely on the Cloudera certification during the hiring process to identify top-quality candidates.
Cloudera makes introductory training material available to watch and use online at no charge. The program includes access to a downloadable training virtual machine that lets you run a cluster on your desktop or laptop so that you can follow along with the material and complete the exercises.
Cloudera engineer Tom White has published “Hadoop: The Definitive Guide” in cooperation with O’Reilly Media. Perhaps we’re a little biased, but we feel White’s book is without question the ultimate guide to Hadoop and how it works.
