Make it so

Hello, random tumblr user and/or fellow aspiring data scientists. I’m a former prep cook / pastry cook / technical writer learning big data programming with scala. Since I’m not really sure how to blog about that yet, this blog will soon be filled with links to resources for what I’m learning. I may also occasionally reblog something Animal Crossing related, and I may eventually figure out how to blog about what I’m learning.

I’m going to keep an index here so it’s easy to find my resource posts, since tumblr can be difficult to navigate. I’ll add links to resource posts as I make them.

Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) Sandbox: post link

Spark SQL resource links here: post link

Agile / Scrum resource links here: post link
