TOP REVIEWS FROM APACHE SPARK (TM) SQL FOR DATA ANALYSTS
Nice work but the exam is not real test to the materials , and it is not difficult but I would say strange and difficult to read
This course is amazing. The hands on labs was outstanding. But, the audio quality was poor. Needs to improve the audio quality. Overall a great experience learning Apache Spark.
Content was amazing. Labs were really good. Videos from the lady talking the dense part need to improve. Audio from the lady had a messy stereo, also her pronunciation is not clear. Very bad quality
Great lab sections, definitely recommended for learning about Spark, SQL and Databricks.
