Why shall we learn Apache Spark:

Apache Spark gives us unlimited ability to build cutting-edge applications. It is also one of the most compelling technologies of the last decade in terms of its disruption to the big data world.

Spark provides in-memory cluster computing which greatly boosts the speed of iterative algorithms and interactive data mining tasks.

Apache Spark is the next-generation processing engine forbig data.

Tons of companies are adapting Apache Spark to extract meaning from massive data sets, today you haveaccess to that same big data technology right on your desktop.

Apache Spark is becoming a must tool for big data engineers and data scientists.

About the author:

Since 2015, James has been helping his company to adapt Apache Spark for building their big data processing pipeline and data analytics applications.

James' company has gained massive benefits by adapting Apache Spark in production. In this course, he is going to share with you his years of knowledge and best practices of working with Spark in the real field.

Why choosingthis course?

This course is very hands-on, James has put lots effort to provide you with not only the theory but also real-life examples of developing Spark applications that you can try out on your own laptop.

James has uploaded all the source code to Github and you will be able to follow along with either Windows, MAC OS or Linux.

good for starters like me

By A K on 10/27/2020

Good stuff:
Good course, from an introduction perspective.
Well explained, clear voice
Well worth the deal price of about $10 that I paid for it.
Could have been better:
Would have loved to see content on debugging and monitoring as well.
Content has not been updated since 2018
Content authors no longer seem to be reading or responding to comments/questions

La traduccin al espaol c.c. no es tan clara, deberan mejorarla, algunos tecnicismos no deberan traducir.

By Suraj Nayak on 9/14/2020

The contents are good for some one who has knowledge and want to refresh skills. The Spark Architecture needed to be explained in detail as how data is sent across. Data locality is important feature and that is missing. I expected to get some details on how we can tune spark applications especially the spark core

Nice intro

By Jihoo on 5/26/2020

Hi, check out the source "build.gradle" please.
repositories and dependencies.

By Akshay Gehi on 5/17/2020

I would have liked to understand more about how to leverage partitioning, understand spark UI and how the memory is utilized across parallel (partitioned) tasks

By Srirama Santhi Kiran Yeluri on 5/11/2020

I was looking for a course to learn on how to work with Spark and am very happy I bought this course. Very happy with the way the course is divided and the way the concepts are explained. Bit disappointed that Spark MLlib is not included in the course.
