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.

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.

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.

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.
