Getting Started With Data Science on Spark with Scala
Details
This workshop is one of many free, data-centric events that will make up Cognifest NYC, taking place from October 23 - 27, 2017. Cognifest is a new way to bring together developer communities around common topics such as Data Engineering, Machine Learning, and AI. Instead of a traditional sit-down conference, we connect a series of meetups all around the city, and add workshops and tech talk tracks on dedicated days, as well as a happy hour or two, to canvass the ideas through time and space.
