Description
Apache Spark Project: World Development Indicators Analytics
Are you ready to take your Apache Spark and Big Data skills to the next level by working on a real-world analytics project?
In this hands-on course, we’ll use Apache Spark, Spark SQL, and Apache Zeppelin to analyze one of the most important and widely used datasets in the world — the World Bank’s World Development Indicators (WDI). Covering over 200 countries, 50+ years of data, and hundreds of economic, social, demographic, health, and environmental indicators, this project is the perfect way to apply your Spark skills to real-world problems.
You’ll learn step by step how to:
-
Set up Spark and Zeppelin on your system (Windows, Ubuntu, or Docker)
-
Load and explore massive datasets with Spark DataFrames
-
Write Spark SQL queries to analyze GDP, literacy, poverty, trade, population, life expectancy, urbanization, and more
-
Build interactive visualizations and dashboards in Zeppelin
-
Compare economic and social development patterns across countries, regions, and decades
-
Deliver a resume-ready Spark project that you can showcase in interviews
What makes this course different?
-
Practical, project-based approach: Learn Spark by solving real-world questions.
-
Step-by-step guidance: Easy to follow, even if you’re new to Spark.
-
Comprehensive coverage: From environment setup → to data exploration → to insights.
-
Portfolio-ready project: By the end, you’ll have a complete Spark + Zeppelin project to demonstrate your skills.
Who is this course for?
-
Beginners who want to break into Big Data and Analytics with a hands-on project.
-
Data engineers & data analysts looking to strengthen their Spark SQL and Zeppelin skills.
-
Job seekers & interview candidates who need a portfolio project to stand out.
