Hey all- does anyone have a good resource to learn about big data technologies with some practical examples? I have tons of SQL, python, and application development experience but no Hadoop, Spark or Kafka and really wanted to learn them

I had to self teach those on the job and never found great resources while learning. So hopefully someone can be more help, but I’m interested in what is out there too!

Second what SBA1 said, it’s tough to find good resources for learning. The best way to learn is on the job, working through the docs to tackle a real problem. The challenge with big data stuff is that you pretty much need to use big data at work to even get exposure to it, because the infrastructure required to run it is so expensive.

If you’re comfortable in Python, you’ll be fine using the python apis for the technologies you’re looking to use, it’s more a matter of getting your hands on an environment to play with.

If you’re willing to spend some money on your own, databricks allows you to spin up resources pretty easily. Just be aware that it can get costly if you’re not conscientious.

Will do, thank you all for your responses. They have been very helpful!!

If you’re willing to pay or maybe your company can pay, the Data Engineering nanodegree from Udacity is sooo good. Very thorough and comprehensive, and you get to build and automate complete end to end pipelines. It’s designed for those already pretty familiar with SQL and Python.

Will take a look at that. Thank you for the suggestion

You can get free understanding of these concepts on “itversity” channel in YouTube.

They also have a lab with data to play around
Itversitylabs.com
They charge you around $40 for 6 months, that would be good start have hands on environment

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.

I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
