NCDevCon 2017 Session-Big Data made Easy with a Spark

Big Data made Easy with a Spark

In this practical (almost hands-on) session, we will see how we can use Java and Apache Spark to connect to existing databases and Open Data, ingest data, and run our very first Machine Learning algorithm! We will demystify the "magic" behind Big Data analytics and jump into a pragmatic way to build our use-case. Audience: Software engineers who want to learn about Apache Spark. Java knowledge is desirable but not required. Key Takeaways: Basics about Apache Spark – 20%. Walking through a complete scenario – 80%.
