This course is deal for software developers, database administrators, and data architects interested in learning about distributed database management systems for large-scale data processing.
This œskills-centric course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, coupling the most current techniques with the soundest industry practices. Throughout the course students will be led through a series of progressively advanced topics, where each topic consists of lecture, group discussion, comprehensive hands-on lab exercises, and lab review.The goal of this course is to enable technical students new to Cassandra to begin working with Cassandra in an optimal manner. Throughout the course students will learn to:-Understand the Big Data needs that C* addresses-Be familiar with the operation and structure of C*-Be able to install and set up a C* database-Use the C* tools, including cqlsh, nodetool, and ccm (Cassandra Cluster Manager)-Be familiar with the C* architecture, and how a C* cluster is structured-Understand how data is distributed and replicated in a C* cluster-Understand core C* data modeling concepts, and use them to create well-structured data models-Be familiar with the C* eventual consistency model and use it intelligently-Be familiar with consistency mechanisms such as read repair and hinted handoff-Understand and use CQL to create tables and query for data-Know and use the CQL data types (numerical, textual, uuid, etc.)-Be familiar with the various kinds of primary keys available (simple, compound, and composite primary keys)-Be familiar with the C* write and read paths-Understand C* deletion and compaction
The Cassandra (C*) database is a massively scalable NoSQL database that provides high availability and fault tolerance, as well as linear scalability when adding new nodes to a cluster. It has many powerful capabilities, such as tunable and eventual consistency, that allow it to meet the needs of modern applications, but also introduce a new paradigm for data modeling that many organizations do not have the expertise to use in the best way.Introduction to Cassandra is a hands-on course designed to teach attendees the basics of how to create good data models with Cassandra. This technical course has a focus on the practical aspects of working with C*, and introduces essential concepts needed to understand Cassandra, including enough coverage of internal architecture to make good decisions. It is hands-on, with labs that provide experience in core functionality. Students will also explore CQL (Cassandra Query Language), as well as some of the œanti-patterns that lead to non-optimal C* data models and be ready to work on production systems involving Cassandra.
Attendees should have incoming experience with and knowledge of SQL. Some familiarity with distributed systems is also helpful.

Great course yesterday and can’t give enough amazing feedback for John. I’ve never had a teacher hold attention of a class from start to finish, but yesterday he did this.

Alan delivered the training in an easy to understand and pleasant manner which was broken down into manageable chunks with an appropriate number of breaks to give folk time away from their laptops and screens. It is never easy to do 2 days of training on a fairly in-depth subject involving Software even in a classroom environment and remaining focused and engaged so doing it remotely adds another level of complexity, but I have to say that personally this was one of the best Training Events that I have attended for some years. I have gained so much knowledge of MS Project and it will certainly make my job easier going forward.
A large part of what I gained has to be credited to Alan’s manner and delivery and I should be grateful if you could pass on my thanks to him.
Also, the support, together with joining instructions & training literature etc from Nexus Human has been excellent – thank you for that. I intend feeding that back to our People and ICT Teams too

Excellent interaction and answered all of my questions. Looking forward to being able to apply some of the tips and features learned today which hopefully should have real impact on some of the more time consuming tasks currently encountered.
