This instructor-led training course provides you with an extremely efficient way to learn about HTML5 and discover how to incorporate its countless features in your web pages and applications. With this training, you will quickly go from a basic what?, why?, and when? (now!) of HTML to deep dives into advanced topics like layouts, forms, offline support, geolocation, audio and video, graphics, communication APIs, storage, new JavaScript web-workers, and so on. You'll be surprised, not only by how much you'll learn, but also by how much you'll end up unlearning (based on how we used to do things) and wonder how we ever survived without HTML5.

Note: This class is available in both the instructor-led format as well as the online classroom format.

HTML5 is the next major milestone in HTML and it is not just another incremental enhancement; it represents an enormous advance for modern web applications. HTML5 is such a big step forward; everybody is talking about it (and how often do these companies agree on anything at all?):

“The Web has not seen this level of transformation, this level of acceleration, in the past ten years... we're betting big on HTML5” —Vic Gundotra, VP of Engineering, Google

“The world is moving to HTML5” —Steve Jobs, Apple

“If you want to do something universal, there is no question, the world is going HTML5. That is clear...The world is just pushing down this HTML5 path and so are we.” —Steve Ballmer, CEO Microsoft

Modern browsers already support a lot of features, so it is time to start using it! In this HTML5 Mobile Mastery course, attendees will learn how to create HTML5 web pages and web applications using HTML5 markup, CSS3, and HTML5 JavaScript APIs. Over the course of three action-packed days, HTML5 Mobile Mastery covers all the new features in HTML5 with an eye toward practical applications, especially for mobile application development. The course aims to be highly practical, too, outlining current browser support, trends in the market, common gotchas, and how to make the new features work in older browsers.

This 3-day training program is geared to give developers hands-on working knowledge for harnessing the power of Hadoop in their organizations. Hadoop is a software framework that supports data-intensive distributed applications. Hadoop empowers applications to work with thousands of nodes and petabytes of data without exposing the complexity of clustering to the end user.

The two day Hadoop Development Fundamentals course provides a hands-on introduction to "big data" and distributed computing to software developers. We will cover the two most important aspects of the Hadoop software stack: the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and MapReduce. We will also look at several higher level tools in the Hadoop ecosystem, that make writing code to store and process terabytes and petabytes of data across a cluster as simple and straightforward as traditional in-memory, file-based or RDBMS data.

The future belongs to organizations that can change data to products that lead to actions. Hadoop opens doors towards truly data-driven decision making. As enterprises begin to rapidly adopt Hadoop, business leaders & information technology managers face new opportunities & challenges. This course cuts through the hype to specifically address those challenges and take advantage of the core values provided by Hadoop in a vendor neutral way.
