É um bom curso para um primeiro contato com com este conteúdo. Pontos positivos: - Existem sessões dedicadas ao setup de ambientes, para diferentes sistemas operacionais. - As lições não são demasiadamente longas. - Tem cobertura ampla de tópicos, ainda que alguns de maneira rápida. Pontos Negativos: - O conteúdo está desatualizado em algumas lições. - Para os exemplos mostrados, todos os notebooks deveriam estar disponíveis para download. - Na parte do setup, nem todos os detalhes foram mostrados. - Algumas vezes a seta do mouse na explicação não estava alinhado com o áudio.

Si, pero hay temas un poco mas confusos que otros y siento que seria mejor explicar con mas ejercicios y distintas formas

Me ayudó a entender lo que es DataBricks y como trabajar con spark, me dio un poco el panorama de lo que es trabajar con esta herramienta para Big data

Qua inhoud prima, maar presentatie is nogal wat monotoon. Wellicht wat minder 1 op 1 voorlezen van de slides en meer toelichten, zal het denk ik interessanter maken.
By Bo Arrington on 8/8/2023
Excellent content. I could clearly understand the instructor (BIG deal for me), particularly a PAID course. I am ready for more on the study and read to out what I learned in action.
By Louise Harding on 5/16/2023
The content is good, however the AI voice can make it quite dull to listen to for long periods of time.
By Jeremy on 4/18/2023
Contents is good but does slack some personal feeling, maybe can be fixed with more advanced AI Voice. Some content will feel quite basic if you are familiar with spark already. Overall a good short overview.
By Sarai Kozenyuk on 4/13/2023
I expected much more! There are no exercises so far, Q&A left unanswered for a month, and it uses a deprecated utility even though it suppose to be update. This is not suitable for paid course.
