About this Course

In this course you will learn the what, why, how, when and where around non-relational (NoSQL) database technologies. Here you will understand the different types of NoSQL data storage options that are in popular use now. These include graph databases, such as Neo4j and Freebase; key-value stores such as DynamoDB and Cassandra, document data stores such as MongoDB and column data stores such as Hadoop. You will learn about and work with both locally hosted versions of these data stores as well as cloud-based versions. Importantly, you’ll understand when to use which type(s) of data stores to best suit your business requirements.

Course Objectives

1) Understand the capabilities (and limitations) of NoSQL databases
2) See an example of each type of NoSQL database
3) Understand basic query technologies for NoSQL data stores by working with Hadoop (working with MapReduce, Pig and HIVE)
4) Get hands-on experience installing, querying and performing basic administration with MongoDB

Course Prerequisites

This course is specifically designed for working SQL Server professionals (both developers and DBAs). Comparative examples (i.e. NoSQL vs. RDBMS) will be used extensively to facilitate faster learning.

Sample

Abstract: In addition to fueling the computing industry’s tremendous growth, changing the way we communicate, changing the way we search for information and etc., the Internet creates a whole new horizon for embedded devices, which we refer to as “The Internet of Things”.
This presentation takes a brief look into the embedded device opportunities, shows the steps to build an embedded devices and develop application for embedded devices, using Microsoft technologies.

One of Microsoft’s key advantage and strength is the ability to deliver and maintain developer friendly and productive development tool, such as the Visual Studio family of development tools. With Windows Embedded Compact, you can develop real-world application from the Visual Studio IDE.

If you are already familiar with the Visual Studio development environment, coding in C++, C# or Visual Basic, you already have the basic knowledge which you can leverage to develop Windows Embedded application.

About the Presenter:Samuel Phung has worked in the technology field for more than 20 years. In the early 1990s, he led a financial database software team, developing software for the banking industry. Later he led a software team developing Windows-Based telephony application for a venture capital-funded startup. He started to work in the embedded computing field in the late 1990s and engaged with the Windows Embedded product team, starting with Windows NT 4.0 Embedded. He has been working with Windows Embedded Compact (formerly known as Windows CE), since version 2.12 was introduced. Samuel authored two books about Windows Embedded Compact, “Professional Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6.0” in 2008 and “Professional Windows Embedded Compact 7” in 2011. Samuel enjoys working with technology, actively engages with the academic community, and received the Windows Embedded MVP recognition from Microsoft since 2005. As part of his involvement in the academic community, Samuel actively works with university teaching professionals in the United States, Asia, Europe and other regions to adopt Windows Embedded technology as part of their teaching curriculum.

As part of his Windows Embedded community activities, Samuel maintains a personal website: www.embeddedpc.net, to provide information resources related to Windows Embedded. In 2010, he initiated the Embedded101 Windows Embedded community portal, www.embedded101.com.

Abstract: The Kinect is a little marvel of technology that has been released to the masses. This session will delve into foundational concepts surrounding this little gadget and describe Microsoft’s Kinect API in a user friendly manner. Attendees will learn how to access the device’s depth, camera, and skeletal information to create novel user interfaces to their software.

About the Presenter:Seth Juarez has a Master’s Degree in Computer Science where his field of research was Artificial Intelligence specifically in the realm of Machine Learning. He is a Technical Evangelist for DevExpress where he specializes in data analysis and shaping in conjunction with their reporting toolset. When he is not working in that area, he devotes his time to an open source Machine Learning Library specifically for .NET that is intended to simplify the use of popular supervised and unsupervised learning models.

FREE Phone, HTML 5 and Cloud DevCamps

Attend a Camp – Build An App!

Developer Camps (DevCamps for short) are free, fun, no-fluff events for developers, by developers. You learn from experts in a low-key, interactive way and then get hands-on time to apply what you’ve learned. Check out the four different DevCamps currently being offered and register today!

Cloud Camp - Register Here

Join us to learn about the exciting new Windows Azure developer platform! Windows Azure will open up a host of new application and multi-screen development opportunities, and this briefing will give you a jumpstart in understanding how to take advantage of them.

Phone Camp – Register Here

Take your apps to the next level at the Windows Phone Dev Camp. We’ll be covering how to bring the cloud to your app by consuming external APIs, add UX polish with Expression Blend, reach new markets through globalization and localization, and keep your app running at peak performance through advanced debugging and testing. In the afternoon, we’ll break into labs to reinforce what we covered, and offer a chance to present your application for a chance to win in our application competition.

HTML5 Camp – Register Here

As developers, you keep hearing a lot about HTML5, but many don’t know what it actually means or is truly capable of. If you want to learn about it, your choices are limited. The HTML5 Web Camp is an opportunity to connect with designers and developers and show you what’s possible, and how you can start using it today. Space is limited.

Student Prep Night – Register Here

If you’re a student, interested in attending DevCamp (Phone Camp, particularly), we’d love to have you join us for a night of preparation and pizza! We want to be sure you have all the tools you need to be successful with the professional developer community.
