We’re all in a race to innovate, but far too often, data is the bottleneck that keeps our application and project teams from delivering value at the pace we need. Data is expensive to manage, it’s vulnerable to theft and exploitation, and it’s extremely difficult to move.

According to a recent TechWell survey, nearly two-thirds of respondents said it takes too long to access test data. With a proper test data management (TDM) strategy, you can remove common constraints while maintaining a high level of quality.

Join Brett Stevens to learn how advanced IT teams are taking a new approach to TDM to meet the needs of today’s development and testing teams in order to unleash innovation at speed.

Learn how to:

• Hit industry benchmarks for TDM in terms of speed, quality, security, and cost efficiency
• Become an advanced TDM team in order to outperform your peers
• Leverage TDM to boost your DevOps, automation, and cloud efforts

Presenter: Brett Stevens Product Marketing Delphix, is a member of the product marketing team, and focuses on educating clients on the benefit of leveraging data virtualization across the lifecycle of their application projects. In his previous role on the business technology consulting team, Stevens worked with clients to map their data management pain points to use cases for Delphix.

 Most people are surprised to know that Spark works with Java!

Maybe they saw the initial Java code that used anonymous classes and dismissed it as an ungainly mess.

They were right—plain Java and Spark are ugly together. Then Java 8’s lambdas came along.

Now, instead of an ungainly mess, we get the tight syntax of lambda expressions offering code that is readable and testable. Best of all, it uses Java.

In this webinar Jesse Anderson demonstrates how to create Java lambdas and integrate them with Spark to process data. Then Jesse explains how to find Java resources about Spark and outlines the pros and cons for a Java developer to learn Scala.

Learning two big concepts at once is often a nonstarter. People learning Spark are often learning Scala at the same time. If we can remove one big concept (learning Scala), people will be more successful at learning Spark.

Learn:

• How Java can be used succinctly with Apache Spark
• What are Java 8 lambdas and how to use them
• How to use Java lambdas with Spark
