Machine Learning with Apache Cassandra™ and Apache Spark™
It is the secret behind the neural networks that Netflix and Spotify use to surface recommendations, and the underlying technology behind Siri’s voice recognition … and it is changing the world at a rate none of us could have expected. Machine learning. It’s not just a buzzword. It’s a powerful technology that developers and IT leaders need to begin to understand now to be better prepared for the future.
Come ready to discover the goals and approaches of machine learning, and how to build effective algorithms and solutions. In this hands-on event, you’ll write your very own machine learning code using Python, Cassandra, and Spark.
What we will cover
Getting started with Apache Cassandra™ and understanding use cases that fit this tool
Understanding analytics with Apache Spark™
Machine Learning Fundamentals
Why attend?
All attendees to this event will receive a FREE Cassandra Certification voucher, normally priced at $375.
This workshop will set you up for success for the certification, pointing you in the right direction to become Cassandra Certified - a great addition to any developers CV! As more and more enterprises deploy Cassandra, the demand for engineers skilled in the new database is increasing too. Skills shortages within data science remain a problem for a lot of organisations - set yourself apart and prove you know what you are doing when it comes to NoSQL databases.
