since spark is under actively developing, so take a book to learn it is somehow outdated to some degree.
I would like to suggest learn it from several ways as bellow: - spark official document, trust me, you will go through this for several time if you want to learn in well : http://spark.apache.org/ - spark summit, lots of videos and slide, high quality : https://spark-summit.org/ - databricks' blog : https://databricks.com/blog - attend spark meetup : http://www.meetup.com/ - try spark 3-party package if needed and convenient : http://spark-packages.org/ - and I just start to blog my spark learning memo on my blog: http://litaotao.github.io in a word, I think the best way to learn it is official *document + databricks blog + others' blog ===>>> your blog [ tutorial by you or just memo for your learning ]* On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 4:50 PM, Ashok Kumar <ashok34...@yahoo.com.invalid> wrote: > Thank you all for valuable advice.
