Getting Started with DataBricks — Community Edition for PySpark

Are you a newbie with PySpark ? You just want a notebook where you can play around with your spark code ?

My suggestion :

  1. Create a DataBricks community account.
  2. Explore pySpark library functions with open data sets.

Once you have the community account set up, you can create your own cluster.

Create your notebook and attach it to the cluster you have created.

Your spark session is created for you automatically.

You could start using the notebook to create your code for manipulating data downloaded from an open data source.
