Mastering big data with PySpark

Big data used to be a novel concept, but today, it’s a critical aspect of many industries. With the rise of high-throughput data generation methods, advanced algorithms and platforms, and next-generation computing, we have become more familiar with the concept of big data. Despite the advances in big data technologies, there is still a shortage of resources for beginners and intermediate learners to acquire and apply big data skills.
