Great introduction to Spark and it's data structures. The course is easy to follow, and lecturer is entertaining and really engaged.

Thanks, I really had fun !

very good course, really enjoyed

love this topic!!!! New and frontier technology in NLP. More and more concentrations and analysis on this big data research.

I wish more courses about Parallel clustering using Spark available to the many.

I learned a great deal about the Spark API. I recommend it to anybody eager to self educate after working hours.

Thanks to this course I think that I have finally understood partitioning and everything about Datasets.

It's a great course for those who want to learn Apache Spark.

I learned so much from this course! It was amazing how Dr. Miller used concepts that were meticulously built up in the earlier courses, such as evaluation strategy, functional collections, reactive programming, and associativity, to describe the core of Spark in only four units. As someone coming from more of a statistics background, I started this specialization only to learn Spark, so I wasn't always sure how relevant learning the more theoretical underpinnings of Scala would be. It turns out that it was pretty essential, while also just making me a better programmer. Looking forward to the capstone!

Thanks !

Great course, well explained, instant value!

Very interesting course!!

This course is very well done.

Great Course

A very interesting and useful course.

Highly Recommended!

Some of the assignments are a bit challenging, due to grading system I suppose, but in the end general impression about this course is very positive

Excelente curso, muy bien material y explicado de manera muy dinámica y practica.

The course gave me insight into the world och big data batch processing and how Spark solves it. Heather does a great job with presenting the material in a thorough way with relevant theory and illustrative examples. The assignments are well balanced and forces you to apply all your new knowledge when solving them. I highly recommend this course!

Very good course and good materials for learning

First weeks were overcomplicated with k-means and stuff not related to Spark itself.

In general - GREAT JOB !!! Thx for such kind courses

Excellent teacher

Great course about Big Data analysis

It was my first exposure to Big Data frameworks and I learned a lot about the problems trying to be solved and the power of Spark.

Thank the teacher, the course is very good, the teacher is also very nice. The first three weeks of feeling learned a lot of new knowledge, the last week may be each class time is relatively long. It would be better if you could split it.

Interesting and challenging course! Thank You!

limited content with dewp knowledge

This course is awesome. I got a pretty good idea of spark. In fact this course helped me understand scala well.

A good introduction to Scala programming in Spark environment.
