If you are a Data Engineer you might have heard about the Scala language. Many Data Engineers are using Apache Spark for solving complex data problems. The Engine of Apache Spark is written in Scala. I believe it would be a strong point that may inspire you to learn Scala.
Unlike other programming tutorials I may not cover theoretical parts but I would create tutorials in such a way that can give you coding experience to create Spark applications in Scala.
The first thing would be working on the Spark shell.
If you already have a cluster or installed Apache Spark in your local system, you are good to go.
Just write the below command:
spark-shell
It will take you to the Scala CLI, here you can start learning Scala(Especially for Data Engineers).
I have my Big Data cluster in my 16 GB gaming laptop . So I have started my cluster and started Spark shell, Refer to the below screenshot:
As you can see the Scala CLI is visible, here you can start writing your code.
That was just an Introduction. For step by step learning, please visit our next tutorial.
