About the Course

This self-paced IBM course will teach you all about big data! You will become familiar with the characteristics of big data and its application in big data analytics. You will also gain hands-on experience with big data processing tools like Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark. Bernard Marr defines big data as the digital trace that we are generating in this digital era. You will start the course by understanding what big data is and exploring how insights from big data can be harnessed for a variety of use cases. You’ll also explore how big data uses technologies like parallel processing, scaling, and data parallelism. Next, you will learn about Hadoop, an open-source framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data and its ecosystem. You will discover important applications that go hand in hand with Hadoop, like Distributed File System (HDFS), MapReduce, and HBase. You will become familiar with Hive, a data warehouse software that provides an SQL-like interface to efficiently query and manipulate large data sets. You’ll then gain insights into Apache Spark, an open-source processing engine that provides users with new ways to store and use big data. In this course, you will discover how to leverage Spark to deliver reliable insights. The course provides an overview of the platform, going into the components that make up Apache Spark. You’ll learn about DataFrames and perform basic DataFrame operations and work with SparkSQL. Explore how Spark processes and monitors the requests your application submits and how you can track work using the Spark Application UI. This course has several hands-on labs to help you apply and practice the concepts you learn. You will complete Hadoop and Spark labs using various tools and technologies, including Docker, Kubernetes, Python, and Jupyter Notebooks....

I like the content about Spark, it was well organised and demonstrated with hands-on lab, but not for Hadoop (HDFS, Hbase etc). plus the long videos with robotic voice makes it hard to concentrate. In general it was a good course

Synth voice narration quality is truly annoying. I'd expect better from IBM. Course materials are quite superficial, which I guess is acceptable for an introductory course.

This is a good course for in depth theoretical knowledge about spark and hadoop but it does not have enough hands-on and the exercises which do have hands-on lack proper explanations of the code that we just mostly copy and paste

The automated voices are really distracting, and the explanations in the course are quite surface level. I enjoyed the hands-on training part of the course though.

Muy pocos ejemplos prácticos para comprender el funcionamiento. La teoría se podría aplicar con muchos casos prácticos fácilmente aplicable en los hands-on-lab como en otros cursos que he completado anteriormente.

Worst tutorial ever watched. Explained very badly had to completed the entire course just because i paid money for it.AI is talking an explaining every thing. Better to learn form youtube than watch this shit. After watch 10 mins i would get pissed at their teachings

If it weren't a requirement for a uni course, I wouldn't have started another IBM course. In general, the material is of low quality, read by a robot, poorly made quizzes and a lot of theory without reasonable practice exercises.
