PySparkTutorial

Welcome to the PySparkTutorial repository! This repository is a comprehensive guide to mastering PySpark through hands-on tutorials and examples. Whether you're a beginner or looking to deepen your understanding of PySpark, this resource has something for everyone.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Visual Studio Code
• Docker
• Remote - Containers extension for VS Code

Getting Started

1. Clone the Snippets Repository

First, clone the repository containing the code to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/gvatsal60/PySparkTutorial.git

2. Open the Directory in VSCode:

• Open the current directory in VS Code.
• Press F1 (or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Shift+P on macOS).
• Search for and select "Dev Containers: Reopen in Container".
