I learned a lot completing Implementing Real-Time Analytics with Azure HDInsight. It’s the most fun Microsoft Virtual Academy / edX course I’ve taken to date!

In completing this course, I finished the requirements for the Microsoft Azure HDInsight Big Data Analyst program. I completed Implementing Predictive Analytics with Spark in Azure HDInsight and Processing Big Data with Hadoop in Azure HDInsight late last year.

What’s Next?

I started the Microsoft Professional Program in Data Science early last year, but I’m only a few courses into it. Anything worth starting is worth finishing.

I really got a lot out of the Big Data Analyst XSeries program. I’m eyeing the Microsoft Professional Program in Big Data program. I’ve already completed some of the courses as part of the Data Science program and the Big Data XSeries program. Some that I haven’t completed look very interesting – like Processing Big Data with Azure Data Lake Analytics, Orchestrating Big Data with Azure Data Factory, and Analyzing Big Data with Microsoft R Server.

It’s time to update LinkedIn…
