Welcome to the Big Data Analytics with PySpark + Tableau Desktop + MongoDB course. In this course we will be creating a big data analytics solution using big data technologies like PySpark for ETL, MLlib for Machine Learning as well as Tableau for Data Visualization and for building Dashboards.





We will be working with earthquake data, that we will transform into summary tables. We will then use these tables to train predictive models and predict future earthquakes. We will then analyze the data by building reports and dashboards in Tableau Desktop.





Tableau Desktop is a powerful data visualization tool used for big data analysis and visualization. It allows for data blending, real-time analysis and collaboration of data. No programming is needed for Tableau Desktop, which makes it a very easy and powerful tool to create dashboards apps and reports.





MongoDB is a document-oriented NoSQL database, used for high volume data storage. It stores data in JSON like format called documents, and does not use row/column tables. The document model maps to the objects in your application code, making the data easy to work with.
