From the course: Scala Essential Training for Data Science

Welcome

- [Dan] We begin this course reviewing the basics of scala data types and expressions. We'll cover how to use Scala collections like arrays, vectors, and ranges. We'll also use parallel collections, which allow us to easily implement parallel processing to take advantage of multi-core processors. We'll review the basics of using JDBC drivers and SQL queries to work with relational databases. We'll also explore how to use Scala with spark, a popular distributed processing system widely used for big data analytics and data science. My name is Dan Sullivan, and I'm the instructor for this course. Let's get started learning how to use Scala for data science.
