Apache Spark With Examples for Big Data Analytics (Udemy.com)

It is a very nice introduction to Apache Spark, it covers the basics with nice examples that work. The only small problems that I found is with the sound in a few lectures, also the code in the video is a bit hard to read as it's small.

Very low communication, not organized and can do better, not a good one for starters to understand the course

I have taken multiple online courses and this one by far is my favourite. I highly recommend this course for anyone who is interested in looking to switch industries or career paths. The knowledge contained in this course will be extremely valuable in making that career change. The projects are relevant and a great starting point in developing an project portfolio to showcase to potential employers. 100% recommended for anyone wanting to learn spark project development.

Did not see the difference between reading the official doc or this course, annotation hand written during the course that have purpose to clarify things are unreadable...well i am upset

I just finish 2 sections and I already notice some errors in the content. For example, we use "Set(...)" to initialize an immutable/mutable set in Scala instead of using "new Set(...)" is not because the set is case class. Actually Scala offers "Object Set" so that we can initialize the set without using "new". Also some spell mistakes can be found in the presentation like "Polygot" should be "Polyglot". I have concern regarding the quality of the course.

the course needs to be more detailed. The details are missing.

Prior taking this course I had absolutely no motivation for Apache Spark. After this course, I think to myself... is it really this easy? I'll expand on my review later, my brain hurts from all the wonderful information. This course really does take you from Beginner to Expert on the topics that matters most. This course does not cover just Apache Spark & Scala, it covers so many useful utilities which I never knew about, which will save me valuable time in the future. Thank you very much for the most wonderful course!

Great course , I really like the examples and how the instructor develop the course. I really recommend the course for people that is curious about Apache Spark and for people that want to upgrade the new concepts and technologies present today in the big data world. It will be awesome if the course would include in the future videos with examples of integration with Apache Kafka,Kinessis etc.

Prior to completing this course, I had absolutely no knowledge of Apache Spark. Having completed this course, I now have a solid core understanding of Spark, how it is wired, and how it can be leveraged for fast development/deployment of enterprise applications. Being able to download in advance all of the source code covered in this course was ideal. That allowed me to focus on the content being presented by the instructor. I am definitely going to take additional related courses to further advance my skill set. Thanks

I would describe this course as interesting and quite challenging. I've taken a few other courses, and this has been by far the most challenging and instructors really make the most difference. The course is definitely one you can learn from, but you really have to be able to invest the time required. Its' really awesome, now I am ready to solve real-world challenges. Finally, I advice everyone who wants to learn Apache Spark in more depth should take this course and because it worth every penny you put into it.
