I found this course to be very helpful. It does a great job of explaining how to set up Python and Spark on windows. Even though the videos demonstrate the installation of Python 2.7 and Spark 1.6.; using the same procedures I could easily set up Python 3.x and Spark 2.x on my system. Thank you again for this helpful course!
