I took this course as i am not very familiar with the differences between provider, factory, service, const, and value. Plus I need to use the module.config to perform some factory registration and flyweight design pattern for my work. But the book offer more, particularly I was quite happy to get a better understanding of $q, $http, $route, $cookie, $cookieStore, and $cacheFactory service. I would say the explanation of provider is very good.

Book: Data Algorithms Recipes for Scaling Up with Hadoop and Spark
Very nice book which teaches how to implement mechine learning and data mining techniques such as NBC, recommender, clustering, etc. Implemented in java, the book provides codes in both hadoop mapreduce and apache spark in simple-to-understand and clean manner. Have re-coded most of the algorithms in the book except for chapters dealing with some of the bio stuff which i am not particularly interested at the moment.
Book: Apache Spark Graph Processing
This book provided me guide on how to use apache spark graphx to graph processing in my project. While the book provides only basic implementation and intro to graphx features such as visualization, aggregateMessages, and pregel, I gain some useful insights after re-implemented most of the codes in the book (knowledge about scala required)

Book: Hadoop MapReduce v2 Cookbook
Use the material of this book to build the mapreduce algorithms and hdfs infrastructure for my project. Very good introduction in terms of hadoop mapreduce and how to set up hdfs and yarn in virtual environment.

Online Course: Java Web Fundamental
Completed this course to refresh my knowledge on java servlet and jsp (not bad to link the servlet and web-app config with my knowledge with spring mvc, but the jstl part is bit difficult to digest since a js framework such as angularjs can make things much easier than what a hand crafted tag library need).

Online Course: Practical Networking
Completed this course! simple but very practical lessons on how to use tools such as ping, traceroute, arp, nslookup, ifconfig, netsh, netstat, telnet, etc to isolate network problems to network layer, scope and causes.

Online Course: Patterns for Building Distributed Systems for The Enterprise
Completed this course. Quite good a mind opener, gain some new perspective of distributed computing, particularly the CQRS via MQ and ESB, as well as the append-only models (esp the event streaming and the historical model). This course gave some good ideas on how to proceed with the refactoring processing of a big data project working on.

Online Course: SQL on Hadoop - Analyzing Big Data with Hive
Completed this course. While the pace of the course is a bit fast, it is packed with many useful stuff from executing sql on top of hadoop using Hive, things such as Distributed By, Sort By, GroupSet, Multiple Insert, UDAF, UDTF are really cool. Will need to revisit the course materials when I start to use Hive in development.

Online Course: Concurrent Programming with Go
Completed this course, very good material for learning go for concurrent programming. Much appreciate the authors showing how concurrency models such as events, callback, promise, mutex can be implemented via goroutines and channel. The prime number generator code is amazing and elegant. Also got several tips on using some standard libraries from go, which is nice.

Online Course: Go Fundamentals
Completed this course to learn go for one of my projects. The course material while interesting and easy-to-learn is quite far away from practical use of go, so have to read up other materials.
