    I recently completed the Getting Started with PySpark and RDDs course and found it very helpful as a beginner. The course explained the fundamentals of PySpark clearly, starting with Spark architecture and moving into how RDDs work. I liked how the instructor combined theory with hands-on coding examples, which made it easier to understand transformations, actions, and lazy evaluation. The pace was good for someone new to big data and Spark, though I feel adding more real-world case studies would make it even stronger. Overall, it’s a solid course for building a foundation in PySpark and RDDs.
