*"I would suggest do not buy any book, just start with databricks community edition"*
I dont agree with above , "Learning Spark" book was definitely stepping stone for me. All the basics that one beginner can/will need is covered in very easy to understand format with examples. Great book! highly recommended .. Off course, one has to mature their learning curve by moving on to other resources, Apache documentation and along with github repos are excellent resources .
