: The University of Washington ran an upper-division course on Distributed Computing with MapReduce in Spring 2007. Below you'll find the materials that were used for the class: five lectures in powerpoint format, as well as four lab exercises designed which were completed by students over the duration of the course, using a cluster running Hadoop.
