Could have been a bit longer, more machine learning examples or projects. Otherwise great courses as always with Jose Portilla
Bhavin Jani –
it was an amazing journey with this course especially with machine learning well explained and useful hints …
Ritesh Tripathi –
Since i have gone through most of his (Jose’s) other courses, i found this spark course a piece of cake, just the matter of how some of the parameters are changed that gives you desired results. Skipped Spark Streaming and NLP for the moment as its currently not required for my day to day job.
