One of the important topics that every data analyst should be familiar with is the distributed data processing technologies. As a data analyst, you should be able to apply different queries to your dataset to extract useful information out of it. but what if your data is so big that working with it on your local machine is not easy to be done. That is when the distributed data processing and Spark Technology will become handy. So in this project, we are going to work with pyspark module in python and we are going to use google colab environment in order to apply some queries to the dataset we have related to lastfm website which is an online music service where users can listen to different songs. This dataset is containing two csv files listening.csv and genre.csv. Also, we will learn how we can visualize our query results using matplotlib.
It would have been better if more foundations of Spark framework had been provided
all is great except the idea of struct function it is a little bit confusing .however all awesome hand-on practice please do more coursers
Quick and good course on pyspark for someone who is familiar with Pandas. Although some more depth can be added to the course by giving short brief on Spark and how it works.
Great Course, appropriate to begin the journey with Pysparks
Overall good course to kick start. More basics could be covered.
Ok, but needs a longer explanation of the functions that are used and its range of possibilites.
Best guided project for an introduction to the PySpark
This course has help equip me with a lot of experience on data analysis and i really love it. Thank you Ahmad Varasteh.A big thanks to Coursera for creating such a wonderful opportunity.
Great introductory course in PySpark. Instructor gives time for you to formulate your response. Focuses on practice via repetition to help you build a strong grasp of basic syntax and functions.
quick start for a newbie with most basic information covered here, worth it.

This course is too short and too simple. I was expecting some details in Pyspark or mechanism in RDD. But nothing was shown but just some SQL operations.
Too easy for intermediate level.
Instructor is great but the project itself is very short and shallow. If you have no idea where to start - it's ok to start with this course, but if you already have little practice with pandas or want to know how to use PySpark in real HDFS environment - i'm afraid it wont be helpful.
The execution of this course is pretty good. But I wished the PySpark part was way bigger. It's basically a 3 minute introduction into PySpark and the rest done using Spark-like sql-queries.
Interesting but no dept

Totally loved this course! This is the first time I've used the Coursera Project format, and I've found that it's a great environment to a first, practical introduction to a very specific topic. Yes, this is a very basic introduction, you will not have theoretical lessons about Spark and its functionalities, but you'll dive right in Pyspark and write commands on a dataset. Projects are done in the Google Colab platform, so that the code you did will be available on your profile even after the course ended.
Très bon projet pour prendre en main PySpark et me permettre de me sentir plus à l'aise avec les subtitlité de cette biblitotèque, en comparaison de Pandas.
Encore merci pour cet exercie rapide mais vraient efficace pour monter en compétence sur le Big Data
I wanted to refresh my own PySpark skills and this course provides a short and sweet recap of PySpark. Easy to follow. Examples are practical and useful. I would recommend this course to anyone who needs a quick introduction to PySpark.

This project is really good. Gives you a hands-on experience on PySpark. I was able to write complex queries on my own after a while in this project. Very useful.
It is very good, just basic, but if someone has already knowledge in SQL and Python is more than enough to get started.

Perfect for understand the pyspark bases
it was an excellent hands on experience
good way to start learning pyspark!
This is perfect hands on workshop!
