Excellent overview of Spark, including exercises that solidify what you learn during the lectures. The development environment setup tutorials were also very helpful, as I had not yet worked with sbt.

The sessions where clearly explained and focused. Some of the exercises contained slightly confusing hints and information, but I'm sure those mistakes will be ironed out in future iterations. Thanks!

Good course, shows a lot of useful and unobvious things about Spark. But not always has well described assignments

The course is explained very well but the assignments are a bit ambiguous. The requirements can be a bit clearer.
