Data Analysis with Python and PySpark teaches you how to use PySpark to conduct your own big data analysis programs. It takes a practical stance on teaching both the how and why of PySpark. You’ll learn about how to effectively ingest, process, and work with data at scale as well as how to reason about your own data transformation code. After reading this book, you should feel comfortable using PySpark to write your own data programs and analyses.

Who should read this book

This book is structured around increasingly complicated use cases, moving from simple data transformation to machine learning pipelines. We cover the whole cycle, from data ingestion to results consumption, adding more elements with regard to data source consumption and transformation possibilities.

This book caters mostly to data analysts, scientists, and engineers who want to scale their Python code to larger data sets. Ideally, you should have written a few data programs, either through your work or while learning to program. You’ll get more out of this book if you already are comfortable using the Python programming language and ecosystem.

Spark (and PySpark, naturally) borrows a lot from object-oriented and functional programming. I do not think it’s reasonable to expect complete knowledge of both programming paradigms just to use big data efficiently. If you understand Python classes, decorators, and higher-order functions, you’ll have a blast using some of the more
advanced constructions in the book to bend PySpark to your will. Should those concepts be foreign to you, I cover them in the context of PySpark throughout the book (when appropriate) and in the appendixes.

In Five Lines of Code you will learn:

The signs of bad code
Improving code safely, even when you don’t understand it
Balancing optimization and code generality
Proper compiler practices
The Extract method, Introducing Strategy pattern, and many other refactoring patterns
Writing stable code that enables change-by-addition

Distributed across servers, difficult to test, and resistant to modification—modern software is complex. Grokking Simplicity is a friendly, practical guide that will change the way you approach software design and development. It introduces a unique approach to functional programming that explains why certain features of software are prone to complexity, and teaches you the functional techniques you can use to simplify these systems so that they’re easier to test and debug.
about the technology
Developers rightly fear the unintended complexity that infects most code. This book shows you how to write software that keeps complexity close to its inherent minimum. As you write software you should distinguish between code that alters your system’s state, and code that does not. Once you learn to make that distinction, you can refactor much of your state-altering “actions” into stateless “calculations.” Your software will be simpler.
about the book
The book also teaches you to solve the complex timing bugs that inevitably creep into asynchronous and multithreaded code. In ad­vanced sections of the book you learn how composable abstractions help avoid repeating code and open up new levels of expressivity.
