The trainer made the class interesting and entertaining which helps quite a bit with all day training.

Ryan Speelman

I think the trainer had an excellent style of combining humor and real life stories to make the subjects at hand very approachable. I would highly recommend this professor in the future.

Ernesto did a great job explaining the high level concepts of using Spark and its various modules.

Michael Nemerouf

Richard was very willing to digress when we wanted to ask semi-related questions about things not on the syllabus. Explanations were clear and he was up front about caveats in any advice he gave us.

The lab exercises. Applying the theory from the first day in subsequent days.

- Dell

The trainer was passionate and well-known what he said I appreciate his help and answers all our questions and suggested cases.

Doing similar exercises different ways really help understanding what each component (Hadoop/Spark, standalone/cluster) can do on its own and together. It gave me ideas on how I should test my application on my local machine when I develop vs when it is deployed on a cluster.

It was very informative. I've had very little experience with Spark before and so far this course has provided a very good introduction to the subject.

It was great to get an understanding of what is going on under the hood of Spark. Knowing what's going on under the hood helps to better understand why your code is or is not doing what you expect it to do. A lot of the training was hands on which is always great and the section on optimizations was exceptionally relevant to my current work which was nice.

Intelligent Medical Objects

This is a great class! I most appreciate that Andras explains very clearly what Spark is all about, where it came from, and what problems it is able to solve. Much better than other introductions I've seen that just dive into how to use it. Andras has a deep knowledge of the topic and explains things very well.

Intelligent Medical Objects

The live examples that were given and showed the basic aspects of Spark.

His pace, was great. I loved the fact he went into theory too so that I understand WHY i would do the things he is asking.
