"Learning Oracle Database 11g by Lewis Cunnigham" - 2012

This is a good breezy introduction to Oracle 11g database for anyone who wants to get familiar with whats/hows of databases concepts. The presenter has touched through all important aspects, so it was very useful for me. I've intentionally skipped 3 chapters, first "Database security", "Very Large Databases" and "PL/SQL" , considering the priorities. This is a good stepping stone for Oracle Database performance tuning concepts.

Hadoop Fundamentals LiveLessons (Video Training) by Doug Eadline

Rating 3/5
Pranaam! Found this as a good rudimentary introduction to Hadoop architecture, hdfs and MapReduce. Essentials on HBase, Ambari, Zookeeper or other fundamental aspects are left out. Total video length is 5 hrs. Found the pace to be too slow and feel more could have been covered for impatient starters like me. Presentaton on first half of chapters are good. Lot of information is abstracted. Recommend to look at case studies in BigData to have more information.
