In this Apache Cassandra training course, expert author Ruth Stryker teaches you the basics of working with Cassandra. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no experience with Cassandra is required. Experience with databases, SQL, and programming is recommended.
You will start by learning how to install Cassandra, and then move onto understanding ways to communicate with Cassandra. From there, Ruth will teach you how to create a database, create a table, and insert and model data. This video tutorial will also cover creating an application, updating and deleting data, selecting hardware, and adding nodes to a cluster. You will also learn how to monitor a cluster, repair and remove nodes, and redefine a cluster.
Once you have completed this video based training course, you will have a solid understanding of Cassandra, and be able to use Cassandra for your own development projects. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
