Solr Developer Training
Solr Developer training is a 2-day instructor-led, hands-on classroom training course that teaches the skills necessary for developing a real search application using Solr. The course is designed to guide developers and search specialists with little or no Solr development experience by implementing Solr’s core feature set. Starting with a download from the Apache Solr project site, we will guide you step-by-step through the process of building a fully functional search application that uses best practices, and delivers relevant results. We go in-depth on configuring Solr including FieldTypes and Analysis, linguistic processing, parsing rich document formats, crawling file systems and advanced querying. We also go through the basics of relevancy tuning.
