Java Courses for Scripters/Big Data Geeks
Hey all -
I was wondering if there were any "shortcut" Java courses out there. As
in, I am not looking for a holistic learn everything about Java course, but
more of a "So you are a big data/hive geek and you get Python/Perl pretty
well, but when you try to understand Java your head explodes and it feels
like you are missing something entry level and basic thus you need these
basic things and you'll be fine" course.
Any thoughts?

The Data Science course on Coursera has a pretty good overview of map
reduce, Hive, and Pig without going into the Java side of things.
https://www.coursera.org/course/datasci. It's not in depth, but it is
enough to get started.

Kathy Sierra and Bert someone er other.
