"I learnt the most from the Intro to Cloud and Big Data course (16:137:602OC). The class introduced me to the world of massive data, data management and also performing analytics in different environments. It also provided an introduction to industry-wide tools such as Spark, Hadoop, Amazon Web Services and Python/Scala APIs for them." (May 2019)
