Spark Starter Kit

NOT another "What is Spark?" course ! Explore Spark in depth and get a strong foundation in Spark.

Most courses and other online help including Spark's documentation is not good in helping students understand the foundational concepts. They explain what is Spark, what is RDD, what is "this" and what is "that" but students were most interested in understanding core fundamentals and more importantly answer questions like -

  1. Why do we need Spark when we have Hadoop ?
  2. What is the need for RDD ?
  3. How Spark is faster than Hadoop?
  4. How Spark achieves the speed and efficiency it claims ?
  5. How does memory gets managed in Spark?
  6. How fault tolerance work in Spark ?
and that is exactly what you will learn in this free Spark Starter Kit course. The aim of this course is to give you a strong foundation in Spark.
