For compiling LaTeX documents (with BibTex support) we basically have two options:

LaTeX - will produce a DVI file:
latex -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape %.tex|bibtex %.aux|latex -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape %.tex|latex -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape %.tex|"C:/Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/yap.exe" %.dvi

PdfLaTeX:
pdflatex --shell-escape --enable-write18 -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|bibtex %.aux|pdflatex --shell-escape --enable-write18 -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|pdflatex --shell-escape --enable-write18 -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|"C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Reader 11.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe" %.pdf

These commands are tailored for Texmaker (Win) and will open the approiate preview application after compiling the documents.
Also, (E)PS file support is included; to make sure such images will be correctly displayed, add the following to your LaTeX source preamble:

This work-in-progress summarizes the way-too-many BigData(tm) technologies.
This is by no means an in-depth description, but a very short summary so that
I know where to look.

* DynamoDB - aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/ - Amazon AWS integration, MapReduce
* MongoDB - mongodb.org/ - JSON-style document database, SQL-like queries + MapReduce
