Just Enough Python for Apache Spark™
Summary
This 1-day course aims to help participants with or without a programming background develop just enough experience with Python to begin using the Apache Spark programming APIs.
Description
This course begins with a basic introduction to values, variables, and data types. It then progresses into conditional and control statements followed up with an introduction to methods, functions, and packages. The course concludes with an overview of collections, classes, and tuples.
Depending on specific needs and availability, additional topics can include functional programming, a review of various string and utility functions, and exception handlings.
Objectives
Upon completion, participants should be able to:
- Navigate the Python documentation
- Employ basic programming constructs such as conditional statements and loops
- Use function and classes from existing libraries
- Create new functions and classes
- Identify and use the primary collection types
Based on the selection of various electives, participants should also be able to:
- Understand the breadth of the language's string functions (and other misc utility functions)
- Employ basic exception handling
- Describe and possibly employ some of the key features of functional programming
Audience
This course is intended for anyone that needs to learn "just enough Python" to begin working with Apache Spark™.
