About the Course

I am creating PySpark - Apache Spark Programming in Python for beginners course to help you understand Spark programming and apply that knowledge to build data engineering solutions. This course is example-driven and follows a working session-like approach. We will be taking a live coding approach and explaining all the needed concepts along the way.

Who should take this Course?

I designed this course for software engineers willing to develop a Data Engineering pipeline and application using Apache Spark. I am also creating this course for data architects and data engineers who are responsible for designing and building the organization’s data-centric infrastructure. Another group of people is the managers and architects who do not directly work with Spark implementation. Still, they work with the people who implement Apache Spark at the ground level.

Spark Version used in the Course

This Course is using the Apache Spark 3.5. I have tested all the source code and examples used in this Course on Apache Spark 3.5 in the Databricks environment.
