Hello guys, if you are looking to learn Hadoop online, by yourself, and looking for some awesome tutorials to start with then you have come to the right place. In this article, I am going to share some of the best resources to [learn Hadoop](https://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2018/04/top-5-hadoop-courses-to-learn-online.html), including tutorials, books, and online courses. You can use these resources to learn Hadoop at a time and place convenient to you.


##What are the best tutorials, books, and courses to learn Hadoop?
Without wasting any more of your time, here is my list of some of the best courses, tutorials, and books to learn Hadoop from Yahoo, tutorialspoint, vogella, [Udemy](https://medium.com/javarevisited/15-best-udemy-courses-programmers-can-buy-on-black-friday-and-cyber-monday-2020-a803874f41d9), [Pluralsight](https://medium.com/javarevisited/top-10-pluralsight-courses-to-learn-programming-and-software-development-during-covid-19-stay-at-30b7d8a4f88f), [Coursera](https://medium.com/javarevisited/top-15-free-coursera-courses-and-certifications-for-it-professionals-384207d56f45), and Cloudera. Some of them are also free. They will help you to learn Apache Hadoop by yourself.

###1\. The Ultimate Hands-On Hadoop ([udemy.com](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=JVFxdTr9V80&mid=39197&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.udemy.com%2Fthe-ultimate-hands-on-hadoop-tame-your-big-data%2F))
A great course to learn Hadoop online. It's very comprehensive and covers Hadoop, MapReduce, HDFS, [Spark](https://www.java67.com/2018/05/top-5-free-big-data-courses-to-learn-Hadoop-Apache-Spark.html), Pig, Hive, HBase, [MongoDB](https://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2019/01/top-5-mongodb-online-training-courses.html), [Cassandra](https://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2019/03/top-5-nosql-database-web-developers-should-learn.html), Flume - the list goes on! Over 25 technologies.

###2\. Hadoop Tutorial ([tutorialspoint.com](https://www.tutorialspoint.com/hadoop/))
Another awesome and free tutorial to learn Hadoop. This tutorial has been prepared for professionals aspiring to learn the basics of [Big Data Analytics using Hadoop Framework](https://medium.com/javarevisited/top-10-courses-to-learn-big-data-and-hadoop-best-of-lot-23ef8691633f) and become a Hadoop Developer. Software Professionals, Analytics Professionals, and ETL developers are the key beneficiaries of this course.

###3\. The Building Blocks of Hadoop - HDFS, MapReduce, and YARN ([pluralsight.com](https://pluralsight.pxf.io/c/1193463/424552/7490?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pluralsight.com%2Fcourses%2Fbuilding-blocks-hadoop-hdfs-mapreduce-yarn))
Processing billions of records require a deep understanding of distributed computing. In this course, you'll get introduced to Hadoop, an open-source distributed computing framework that can help you do just that.

###4\. Yahoo! Hadoop Tutorial ([developer.yahoo.com](https://developer.yahoo.com/hadoop/tutorial/))
This tutorial includes the following materials designed to teach you how to use the Hadoop distributed data processing environment:

-   Hadoop 0.18.0 distribution (includes full source code)
-   A virtual machine image running Ubuntu Linux and preconfigured with Hadoop
-   VMware Player software to run the virtual machine image
-   A tutorial which will guide you through many aspects of Hadoop's installation and operation.

Overall an in-depth tutorial to learn Hadoop for both beginners and experienced developers.

###5\. Big Data and Hadoop for Absolute Beginners ([udemy.com](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=JVFxdTr9V80&mid=39197&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.udemy.com%2Flearn-hadoop-step-by-step-from-scratch%2F))
This is a great course for any beginners to get familiar with essential Big Data and Hadoop concepts in a simplified way. The course is also very hands-on as you will not only learn how to install and build up a Hadoop cluster from scratch but also learn about administration and management of Hadoop cluster in production or live environment.

###6\. Hadoop MapReduce in Depth ([udemy.com](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=JVFxdTr9V80&mid=39197&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.udemy.com%2Fhadoop-mapreduce-in-depth-a-real-time-course-on-mapreduce%2F))
MapReduce framework is closest to Hadoop in terms of processing data. It is considered as an atomic processing unit in Hadoop and that is why it is never going to be obsolete. If you want to learn this essential concept in Hadoop then this is the best course to start with.

###7\. The "Getting Started with Hadoop" Tutorial ([cloudera.com](https://www.cloudera.com/developers/get-started-with-hadoop-tutorial.html))
Getting started with the Apache Hadoop stack can be a challenge, whether you're a computer science student or a seasoned developer. There are many moving parts, and unless you get hands-on experience with each of those parts in a broader use-case context with sample data, the climb will be steep.

Following this tutorial using Cloudera's QuickStart VM or Docker image as a sandbox environment will give you examples of how to get started with some of the tools provided in CDH --- Cloudera's platform containing Hadoop and related projects --- and how to manage your services via Cloudera Manager. It will also give you a taste of what it means to "Ask bigger questions."

By the end of this tutorial, you will understand how to use some of the powerful tools in CDH and know how to set up and execute some basic business intelligence and analytics use cases.

###8\. Apache Hadoop - Tutorial ([vogella.com](https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/ApacheHadoop/article.html))
Another interesting Hadoop tutorial by Lars Vogel. In this tutorial, you will learn about how to use Apache Hadoop from ground zero. First, you will learn essential concepts like What is Apache Hadoop, what is MapReduce, Hadoop File System or HDFS, etc and then get some hands-on practice by installing and using Apache Hadoop on your local machine.

### 9\.Hadoop Platform and Application Framework ([coursera.org](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=JVFxdTr9V80&mid=40328&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.coursera.org%2Flearn%2Fhadoop))
This is another good resource to start with Hadoop and Big Data. It's particularly good for novice programmers or business people who would like to understand the core tools used to wrangle and analyze big data. With no prior experience, you will have the opportunity to walk through hands-on examples with Hadoop and Spark frameworks, two of the most common in the industry.

### 10\. Hadoop: The Definitive Guide ([amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/Hadoop-Definitive-Storage-Analysis-Internet/dp/1491901632?tag=javamysqlanta-20))
The Definitive guide is in some ways the 'Hadoop bible' and can be an excellent reference when working on Hadoop, but do not expect it to provide a simple getting started tutorial for writing a Map Reduce. This book is great for really understanding how everything works and how all the systems fit together.
