<h2>Strata exercises now available online</h2>
-<p>At this year&#8217;s <a href="http://strataconf.com/strata2013">Strata</a> conference, the AMP Lab hosted a full day of tutorials on Spark, Shark, and Spark Streaming, including online exercises on Amazon EC2. Those exercises are now <a href="http://ampcamp.berkeley.edu/big-data-mini-course/">available online</a>, letting you learn Spark and Shark at your own pace on an EC2 cluster with real data. They are a great resource for learning the systems. You can also find <a href="http://ampcamp.berkeley.edu/amp-camp-two-strata-2013/">slides</a> from the Strata tutorials online, as well as <a href="http://ampcamp.berkeley.edu/amp-camp-one-berkeley-2012/">videos</a> from the AMP Camp workshop we held at Berkeley in August.</p>

<h2>Video up from first Spark development meetup</h2>
-<p>On December 18th, we held the first of a series of Spark development meetups, for people interested in learning the Spark codebase and contributing to the project. There was quite a bit more demand than we anticipated, with over 80 people signing up and 64 attending. The first meetup was an <a href="http://www.meetup.com/spark-users/events/94101942/">introduction to Spark internals</a>. Thanks to one of the attendees, there&#8217;s now a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49Hr5xZyTEA">video of the meetup</a> on YouTube. We&#8217;ve also posted the <a href="http://files.meetup.com/3138542/dev-meetup-dec-2012.pptx">slides</a>. Look to see more development meetups on Spark and Shark in the future.</p>
