If you ever wanted to dabble in Hadoop take a look at Hadoop Fundamentals I http://bigdatauniversity.com/courses/course/view.php?id=301. And if you'd rather do hands on exercises on the cloud instead of installing all this stuff on your laptop take Hadoop on Amazon Cloud course http://bigdatauniversity.com/courses/course/view.php?id=309 and get $25 from Amazon. Free courses plus $25 bonus is a pretty good deal.

Just to clarify, you get a $25 credit for Amazon Web Services which is meant to offset the cost of the AWS you use during the course. It's not like a $25 Amazon gift card.
