Spark for Dummies is now available
January 1, 2017 Comments Off on Spark for Dummies is now available
A few years ago, I wrote Hadoop for Dummies, which presented an executive-level overview of Hadoop, its capabilities, and its amazing potential. Since then, the Big Data world has continued its relentless march forward, with Apache Spark serving as one of the most exciting and well-adopted new technologies. I’m happy to announce that I’ve just written a companion book dedicated to Spark. Here are the major topics that I cover in this book:
- Spark’s history
- How it works
- Why it’s such an important Big Data breakthrough
- Real world use cases
- How Spark, MapReduce, and Hadoop can work together
- How you can deploy it in your enterprise
- Best practices

This book – which was sponsored by IBM – is a great example of the kinds of high quality technical marketing content developed at Think88. These include white papers, case studies, evaluation guides, technical presentations, and market research.
