✓ Implement real-time streaming applications with Structured Streaming + Kafka, including exactly-once processing, watermarking, and Delta Lake sinks
✓ Design and optimize large-scale Spark jobs ( Catalyst optimizer, AQE, skew handling, broadcasting, partitioning, bucketing) to process terabytes efficiently
✓ Build 4 complete real-world projects you can immediately add to your portfolio and GitHub: NYC Taxi analysis (10 GB+), log processing pipeline, movie recommenda
✓ Work like a professional Data Engineer using Databricks Community Edition (free) - the exact same platform used by Netflix, Uber, and 90 % of Fortune 500 compan
✓ Apply Machine Learning at scale with Spark MLlib, Pandas UDFs, XGBoost, and Hugging Face transformers
✓ Deploy Spark applications on AWS EMR, GCP Dataproc, and Azure Synapse
Requirements
● Basic Python knowledge - you should be comfortable with variables, functions, lists, dictionaries, and writing simple scripts. If you can write a for loop and define a function, you're ready.
● Basic SQL is helpful but not mandatory - we'll cover what you need.
● A computer (Mac, Windows, or Linux) with internet connection - all demos are recorded on a MacBook, but everything works on any OS.
● VS Code (or your preferred code editor) - we code exclusively in .py files and run them from the terminal. We're not going to use Jupyter notebooks or Google Colab. You'll learn the professional workflow from day one.
