HDInsight : BUILD Hive Lab is available now

Got some time to learn Big Data Technologies? How about starting with Hive which is considered the de facto standard for SQL queries in Hadoop
We just released  HDInsight labs used during the BUILD conference code challenge. You will need 2 things to run these labs
