Learn with Advancing Spark


The Advancing Spark YouTube channel is one of the fastest growing data channels on the web. Its host, Simon, explores the various features coming from Microsoft and Databricks as they push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of the Lakehouse.


But what if you're just getting started on your Spark journey, what if you don't need to know what's coming next, but want to get up to speed with what's already there? This is the course for you!

Why Learn Spark?


This course is designed to take a data professional from relational to sensational in just 2 days.

Across the data industry, we are seeing a huge shift from relational technologies to lake-based, powered by distributed processors such as Apache Spark. There's a huge demand for data engineers, and this course is designed to give you that grounding in Spark to get started.

In Stack Overflow's Jobs Survey 2022, Apache Spark was the top paying data framework to learn - so if you're looking to give your career a boost, or your organisation a turbo-charge ready for a new project, this is the course for you.

We teach using a three-step method - all concepts are explained, then demonstrated, then you try it out for yourselves.
