Databricks is a very popular environment for developing data science solutions. More and more companies are interested in Databricks as it is very simple to set up and contains a collaborative workspace for working with a team of people.

In this session you will see

• how to create Machine Learning Solutions using Python and Apache Spark with Databricks,
• to create solutions which can be scaled up or down depending on the amount of data needed to process without having to change the underlying code.

No experience is required with these technologies, as all topics will be introduced as they are the tools needed to create data science solutions.

The step-by-step demos will provide all you need to know to implement Databricks.
