Pre-Data Day Workshops
Several of the Data Day Texas speakers will be coming in a day early to host professional workshops. The sessions vary from 3-8 hours in length and will be held at the AT&T Conference Center. Below are the workshops already confirmed:
Hands-on introduction to the Gremlin Query Language with Josh Perryman
Gremlin is an incredibly rich and powerful query language for property graphs. Its functional roots and novel execution model can make it a little difficult to get started with; many instincts from set-based query languages like SQL don't translate directly. In this 3 hour workshop, led by Gremlin expert Josh Perryman of Expero, you will work through a series of increasingly complex exercises.
But technology isn't just data, and he does more than just play with data. He’s worked with high performance computing (HPC) environments, taking computations from hours to minutes or seconds. He has built visualizations which deliver new insights into complex data domains. He’s managed technology personnel, both directly and indirectly, to deliver technology solutions. He’s have put together more types of technology components, software and hardware, than can be counted, because one of his fortes is solving problems by building sustainable systems.
