API. cURL libcurl C Interface Overview There's the tutorial to start with, read the tutorial to get a general in-depth grip of what libcurl programming is all about.

API

There are some example C source codes you can check out. They're not all-covering or even very extensive, but they might serve as a source of inspiration to start hacking. Dig into the Symbols In Versions document to learn in which libcurl releases symbols were added or removed. Windows developers using Microsoft Visual Studio, might enjoy: The easy interface is a synchronous, efficient, quickly used and... yes, easy interface for file transfers. The multi interface is the asynchronous brother in the family and it also offers multiple transfers using a single thread and more. When using libcurl you init your easy-session and get a handle, which you use as input to the following interface functions you use. You continue by setting all the options you want in the upcoming transfer, most important among them is the URL itself.

Hadoop and R

But, after a real pleasant discussion with one of my ex colleague, it seems that there are many thongs around Hadoop ecosystem and R for analyst that should be said by a data scientist, means that, someone who don’t know much more about big data architecture, but who should know the essentials...

Facebook's Social Network Graph. Paul Butler, an intern on Facebook’s data infrastructure engineering team, was interested in visualizing the "locality of friendship".

Facebook's Social Network Graph

Luckily, he has some great data to work with: Facebook's social network of the friendships between its 500 million members. But visualizing that much data can be a challenge in its own right -- it takes skill to draw meaning from what could easily be an incomprehensible mess of data. After drawing a sample of 10 million friend pairs from the Hive interface to Facebook's Hadoop-based database, Paul set to using R to solve this visualization problem. As Paul describes in a post on his Facebook page, initial attempts to visualize the data resulted in a "big white blob" roughly resembling the outline of the continents.
