Cascading

I've got a series of blog posts going as a "gentle introduction" to Cascading, over at "Cascading for the Impatient". This includes sample code in a GitHub repo, and progresses from a distributed file copy, to yet-another Word Count, to a full TF-IDF implementation in MapReduce, complete with TDD features.

Related to this, see also some recent content:

• "Intro to Data Science for Enterprise Big Data" (which made the front page of SlideShare)
• "Cascading for the Impatient" lightening talk slides
• "Multitool" (Bash scripting for MapReduce -- recently updated)
• "Sample Recommender" for stock picks in Twitter tweets
• "City of Palo Alto Open Data"

I will also be speaking at some upcoming conferences, all listed on my Lanyrd profile:

• Splunk conference in Las Vegas, 9/13
• Cloud Con Expo in SF, 10/3
• ACM Data Mining, 10/13
• SpringOne in DC, 10/17
• DC Data Science, 10/17
