Steve was willing to answer every questions and worked diligently to address any individual concerns or technical issues as they arose in the class. He also did a great job of presenting the technical details in a way that made it less intimidating to even the least tech savvy people in the room. Personally, learning about some useful shortcuts in Excel that I didn't know about will certainly improve my overall workflow when using Excel in the future! I am so appreciative of those little details that I was exposed to during the two-day training.

- Ericsson
It was very hands-on, we spent half the time actually doing things in Cloudera/Hadoop, running different commands, checking the system, and so on. The extra materials (books, websites, etc...) were really appreciated, we will have to continue to learn. The installations were quite fun, and very handy, the cluster setup from scratch was really good.

I really love the hands-on approach that Michael designed. It was very effective to have short PowerPoint lessons that explained concepts, and then be able to apply it in the virtual environment in R. I was also very excited to see how powerful a tool R can be, and am I looking forward to keep learning more in the future.
