Pentaho Conference Workshop: Big Data Without the Heavy Lifting | February 28, 2012 | 9:00 a.m. — Noon

The big data world is extremely chaotic based on technology in its infancy. Learn how to tame this chaos, integrate it within your existing data environments (RDBMS, analytic databases, applications), manage the workflow, orchestrate jobs, improve productivity and make using big data technologies accessible to a much wider spectrum of developers, analysts and data scientists. Attendees of this hands-on session will learn how they can actually leverage Hadoop and NoSQL stores via an intuitive, graphical big data IDE – eliminating the need for deep developer skills such as Hadoop MapReduce, Pig scripting, or NoSQL queries.
