<h2>Spark/Shark Tutorial for Amazon EMR</h2>
-This weekend, Amazon posted an <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/articles/Elastic-MapReduce/4926593393724923">article</a> and code that make it easy to launch Spark and Shark on Elastic MapReduce. The article includes examples of how to run both interactive Scala commands and SQL queries from Shark on data in S3. Head over to the <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/articles/Elastic-MapReduce/4926593393724923">Amazon article</a> for details. We're very excited because, to our knowledge, this makes Spark the first non-Hadoop engine that you can launch with EMR.

<h2>Strata exercises now available online</h2>
-At this year'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.

<h2>Video up from first Spark development meetup</h2>
-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's now a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49Hr5xZyTEA">video of the meetup</a> on YouTube. We'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.
