Solr 201 Intermediate - Public Training

Developing Search Applications With Solr

PDF Version

Course Overview

Developing Search Applications With Solr is a 3-day instructor-led, hands-on classroom training course designed and developed by the engineers that helped write the Lucene/Solr code, and delivered by instructors certified by Lucid in a shared classroom setting. This class is also delivered on-site or at a location of your choice.

The objective of this course is to provide you with the in-depth information to implement Solr search engine technologies. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on lab exercises and example tutorials you will learn to apply best practices to develop scalable, high availability and high performance search applications.  There will be time for questions and discussion to enhance your learning experience. At the end of the course you will understand how to set up and use Solr to index and search, how to analyze and solve common problems, and how to use optional Solr modules such as facets, spell check, and highlighting.
