Apache Spark with PySpark in 2022 : Master Spark with Python

Welcome to the wonderful online course on Apache Spark.

Apache Spark is an open–source general–purpose cluster computing system that has capabilities for iterative computation that can process large pieces of data without requiring human intervention. Though its primary function is as a distributed computing engine, it also includes libraries dedicated to machine learning and graph processing tasks for applications such as artificial intelligence.

PySpark is a Python–based implementation of Apache Spark, which distributes computations in memory, on CPUs, or on clusters of machines using in–memory data caching. This lets you run large–scale analytics jobs interactively. Python is a scripting language that’s easy to learn and fun to use! With Spark, you can now bring the power of machine learning directly into your code without having to copy and paste blocks of code from notebooks.
