Welcome to my Cassandra Training Website.

Trying to learn Apache Cassandra? Cassandra is a distributed database system that promises high availability, performance, and elastic scalability. I have created some educational material that might help you on your learning curve. The documents are licensed with a Creative Commons license, so you can share them for educational purposes. Have fun!

Here are the PDF documents:

• Cassandra - Background and Architecture (PDF)
• Learning CQL3 (PDF Tutorial)
• ...

Getting Started:

$ git clone git://github.com/markusklems/cassandra_training.git
$ sudo sh cassandra_training/cluster/install_java_from_url.sh <6 or 7> <url>
$ sudo sh cassandra_training/cluster/<os>_install_cassandra_and_opscenter.sh
$ sudo sh cassandra_training/cluster/config/config_cluster.sh <seed_server>

There are also step-by-step online courses, hosted by me on AppEngine (as long as my free quota permits):
