Requirements
- Python Familiarity, which can be learned through my 'No Nonsense Python' course
Spark is one of the most in-demand Big Data processing frameworks right now.
This course will take you through the core concepts of PySpark. We will work to enable you to do most of the things you’d do in SQL or Python Pandas library, that is:
Getting hold of data
Handling missing data and cleaning data up
Aggregating your data
Filtering it
Pivoting it
And Writing it back
All of these things will enable you to leverage Spark on large datasets and start getting value from your data.
Let’s get started.
- People wanting to leverage their big data with Spark
- Introduction
- How is this course structured
- Introduction to our development environment
- Introduction to our dataset & dataframes
- Environment configuration code snippet

Hey guys! I am a data engineer by trade and specialize in Python, SQL, Spark, Hive, MongoDB and more. I've come on Udemy to try and make simple, short crash courses into these technologies as I personally find the longer courses too drawn out & I often lose interest. The idea is to keep it short and sharp!
