Excellent overview of Spark, including exercises that solidify what you learn during the lectures. The development environment setup tutorials were also very helpful, as I had not yet worked with sbt.

The sessions where clearly explained and focused. Some of the exercises contained slightly confusing hints and information, but I'm sure those mistakes will be ironed out in future iterations. Thanks!

I love the indepth aproach at the RDDs. I'd say DataFrames and DataSets required a bit more examples and testing material though.

Quizzes in the lecture videos would be nice. Also more, but shorter videos would be enjoyable. Programming assignments very nice!

The video speed is way to fast, this woman is speaking really fast, first as i slowed the video down at 75% was its ok.

Good introduction to Spark. One thing that I didn't like was use of simple Ints and Strings instead of types.

Learned a lot of new things, but I would have focused on more but shorter and more variegate assignments.

Bien mais j'aurais aimé avoir plus d'exercices pour s'entrainer sur les dataframes / datasets
