: 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.

:The IBM MapReduce Tools for Eclipse Plug-in is a robust plug-in that brings Hadoop support to the Eclipse platform. Features include server configuration, support for launching MapReduce jobs and browsing the distributed file system. This setup assumes that you are running Eclipse (version 3.3 or above) on your computer.
