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: Getting Started with Spring Data JPA

Going through this course on spring data jpa today, did not realise how powerful spring data jpa is and how much less work i could have saved in the past if only i took this course earlier. The query DSL (query methods with keywords) are fantastic, the paging and sorting as well as the auditing are all something which have troubled me when using spring jpa in the past. But the course makes it very easy to understand.
