| "Learning Path: Big Data Analytics and Streaming with Spark 2" |
"Every year we have a big increment of data that we need to store and analyze. To be able to process such amounts of data, we need to use a technology that can distribute multiple computations and make them more efficient. Apache Spark is a technology that allows us to process big data leading to faster and scalable process. If you're looking for a complete, comprehensive source on Apache Spark, then go for this Learning Path.Packts Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it. The highlights of this Learning Path are: Explore the Apache Spark architecture and delve into its API and key features Write code that is maintainable and easy to test Get to know the Apache Spark Streaming API and create jobs that analyze data in near real time. Lets take a quick look at your journey. This Learning Path introduce you to the various components of the Spark framework to efficiently process, analyze, and visualize data. You will learn about the Apache Spark programming fundamentals such as RDD and see which operations can be used to perform a transformation or action operation on the RDD. You will then learn how to load and save data from various data sources as different type of files, No-SQL and RDBMS databases. Moving ahead, you will explore the advanced programming concepts such as managing key-value pairs and accumulators. You'll also discover how to create an effective Spark application and execute it on Hadoop cluster to the data and gain insights to make informed business decisions. Moving ahead, you'll learn about data mining and data cleaning, wherein we will look at the input data structure and how input data is loaded. You'll be then writing actual jobs that analyze data. You'll learn how to handle big amount of unbounded infinite streams of data. Furthermore, you'll look at common problems when processing event streams: sorting, watermarks, deduplication, and keeping state (for example, user sessions). Finally you'll implement streaming processing using Spark Streaming and analyze traffic on a web page in real time. After completing this Learning Path, you will have a sound understanding of the Spark framework, which will help you in analyzing and processing big data.

| "Using AI to Transform Search" |
"With the emergence of big data and modern technologies, AI has acquired a lot of relevance in many domains. The increase in demand for automation has generated many applications for AI in fields such as robotics, predictive analytics, finance, and more.In this course, you will understand what artificial intelligence is. It explains in detail basic search methods: DFS (Depth First Search), BFS (Breadth First Search), and A* search, which can be used to make intelligent decisions when the initial state, end state, and possible actions are known. Random solutions or greedy solutions can be found for such problems. But these are not optimal in either space or time and efficient approaches in time and space will be explored. We will also understand how to formulate a problem, which involves looking at it and identifying its initial state, goal state, and the actions that are possible in each state. We also need to understand the data structures involved while implementing these search algorithms as they form the basis of search exploration. Finally, we will look into what a heuristic is as this decides the quality of one sub-solution over another and helps you decide which step to take.About The Author :Devangini Patel is a Ph.D. student at the National University of Singapore, Singapore.

| "Functional Programming in Python" |
"Functional programming is a style of programming that is characterized by short functions, lack of statements, and little reliance on variables. You will learn what functional programming is, and how you can apply functional programming in Python.In this video course, we will learn what functional programming is, and how it differs from other programming styles, such as procedural and object-oriented programming. We will also learn why and when functional programming is useful, and why and when it makes programs unnecessarily complex. Then we go on to explore lambda expressions, which are short one-line functions, and are the purest form of functional programming that Python offers. Next, we will learn about higher-order functions: functions that accept other functions as argument, or return other functions as return values. In Python, higher-order functions are elegantly supported through decorators. We will also encounter important concepts from functional programming, such as monads, currying, statelessness, side-effects, memoization, and referential transparency; these concepts may initially seem odd to Python programmers, but we will see how they are elegantly supported by the language. In fact, many Python programmers already make use of concepts from functional programming without being aware of doing so.All the videos in this course contain hands-on examples of the introduced concepts. We will also consider several different implementations of an interactive calculator to illustrate how you can use functional programming in a simple-but-complete program.About The AuthorSebastiaan Matht currently works as assistant professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.

| "Basic Data Analysis with Java" |
"Data analysis is a process for inspecting, consolidating, transforming, and making sense of data in a way that guides the decision-making process. Effective data analysis is about transferring data through three main states: data, information, and knowledge. This matters because people become overwhelmed by large amounts of data, and make much better decisions on information at hand. Data analysis helps convert data into information, whether the consumer of this information is a person or machine-learning algorithm.This video course starts by showing you the various techniques of pre-processing your data. You will then get well-versed with the basics of data analysis with Java, how data changes state, and how Java fits into the analysis. You will then learn to apply the basic analysis to your business needs and create time-series predictions. Finally, you will see how to implement statistical data analysis techniques using Java APIs. You will also use JDBC to connect Java to SQL and MySQL databases. At the end of the video course, you will also see how to work with NoSQL databases.About the authorErik Costlow was the principal product manager for Oracles launch of Java 8. His background is in software security analysis, dealing with the security issues that rose to the surface within Java 6 and Java 7. While working on the JDK, Erik applied different data analysis techniques to identify and mitigate ways that threats could propagate through the overall Java platform and overlying applications."
