Lecture 25 – Big Data

by Josh Hug (Fall 2018)

Important: This lecture is a combination of two lectures from the Fall 2018 semester.

  • The Google slides version of the lecture slides has a lot of formatting issues. The PDF version might be better for viewing purposes.
  • 25.2 has a little bit of redundancy, so feel free to skip through some of the redundant parts.
  • Unlike the Fall 2018 semester, SQL was covered toward the beginning of the class this summer. There are also some references to “the project” or “project 2,” which would refer to Homework 9 this summer.
