Our Verdict
Overall, this course is a great starting point to learn PySpark with in-depth hands-on examples and practical projects. However, be prepared for outdated content, particularly in certain installations and APIs that may require external resources for up-to-date information. Furthermore, the focus on machine learning and lack of emphasis on core Spark concepts can make this course feel mismatched, affecting its overall value.
What We Liked
- Comprehensive coverage of PySpark, including data manipulation and machine learning techniques
- Hands-on examples and practical projects that are useful for beginners
- Detailed explanations of concepts with a step-by-step approach
- Instructor goes the extra mile to ensure learners do not feel lost
Potential Drawbacks
- Outdated content, particularly in areas such as installing AWS EC2 and Databricks, using Twitter API for streaming, and working with DataFrames
- Lack of focus on core Spark concepts like master node and worker nodes
- Insufficient data pre-processing step approach, and reliance on complementary courses for RDDs, log files, etc.
- Fast pace may make it challenging to keep up and fully grasp the content
