Digitals Days 2012. Hadoop Workshop.

Two weeks ago I attended Digital Days conference. I was IT event organized by students from Warsaw University of Technology.

Me and my buddy Kuba were representing our company Acxiom and performing Hadoop workshop. We prepared 45 minutes lecture and 6 practical exercises for students. Interest of workshop surprised us a lot, the classroom was almost full.

At the beginning we had a lot technical problems with hadoop environment. Organisation of conference leaved a lot to be desired. At the morning we were really shocked, there was nothing. I have prepared student's stations and Kuba did his best to setup hadoop. Unfortunately we had not enough time and were not able to accomplish whole workshop plan.

Nevertheless, it was my first time being presenter and have very good impression about that. A few students contact me via email next days, so there was some feedback 

Due this event I've created 4 post for workshop attendies to help them with excercises.
