Offered by Whizlabs,
Getting Started with Apache Cassandra (Coursera)

The “Getting Started with Cassandra” course is designed to help you gain knowledge of the Cassandra database system. You will learn architecture as well as how to design, build and use Cassandra databases.
This training course helps you develop your skills and knowledge in Cassandra. Cassandra is a NoSQL database that has the traits of a distributed, open-source, and decentralized database or storage system. It can support the management of excessively massive amounts of structured data without a single point of failure, thereby resulting in the provision of highly available services.

Data analysis has replaced data acquisition as the bottleneck to evidence-based decision making --- we are drowning in it. Extracting knowledge from large, heterogeneous, and noisy datasets requires not only powerful computing resources, but the programming abstractions to use them effectively. The abstractions that emerged in the last decade blend ideas from parallel databases, distributed systems, and programming languages to create a new class of scalable data analytics platforms that form the foundation for data science at realistic scales.

Security & Networking

In this course, you'll take a look at how Laravel protects your database and ways you can configure it to protect your system. The Laravel database access layer has a lot of built-in protection from common attacks. However, when you need to customize functionality it can be easy to undo that layer and allow for attacks like SQL injection. In this course, we’ll discuss how Laravel protects your database and look at ways to extend functionality without compromising security. Then, we’ll pivot to performance and reducing the chance of denial of service attacks. Finally, concentrating on a layered approach of security in your app, we’ll focus on the security of properties in an Eloquent model.
