### **Introduction to the Upcoming Live Session**
Dear Students,
We are excited to announce our next live session dedicated to those enrolled in our AI course. This second session will focus on two key components of Apache Spark: **Spark SQL** and **Spark MLlib**. Building upon our previous discussion where we explored Spark's architecture and examined initial code snippets, this session aims to delve deeper into practical coding examples.
---
### **Session Details and Requirements**
Mark your calendars for **Sunday, August 9th**, from **7 PM to 9 PM**. This interactive session will be accessible exclusively through our desktop app, ensuring a seamless experience. Communication during the live session will take place via the **Slack Miscellaneous Channel**, which we have established for real-time interaction.
---
### **Importance of Prior Sessions**
It is crucial that you review the first live session conducted just a couple of weeks ago. This initial session provided an overview of Spark's architecture and introduced foundational code snippets, setting the stage for our current and future discussions. Attending this second session without prior knowledge may hinder your ability to fully engage and benefit from the content.

### **Overview of Topics Across Sessions**
Our journey into Apache Spark is designed to be comprehensive, with a planned three-session series:
1. **Session 1:** *Overview of Spark* - This introductory session covered the basics of Spark's architecture and its core concepts.
2. **Session 2:** *Programming with Spark SQL and MLlib* - Focus on practical coding examples, exploring how to leverage these powerful tools for data processing and machine learning tasks.
3. **Session 3 (Planned):** *Advanced Topics in Spark* - This session will delve into more complex subjects, including advanced code walkthroughs and end-to-end systems. If time permits, we will also explore **Spark Streaming**, expanding on the introductory insights provided earlier.

### **Conclusion: Enhance Your Practical Skills**
By attending these sessions, you will gain a robust understanding of Apache Spark, enabling you to apply it effectively in real-world scenarios. We encourage all enrolled students to make the most of this learning opportunity by actively participating and engaging in discussions during the live sessions.
Please ensure you watch the first session and prepare any questions you may have. Your active participation is key to maximizing your learning experience.
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday, August 9th, at **7 PM** for an insightful exploration of Spark SQL, MLlib, and beyond.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi friends our next live session for all of our ai students is a continuation of what where we left off for spark right again this is the second live session related to spark where we will focus on spark sql and spark mlip in the previous session we understood the architecture of spark and we have seen a few code snippets in this session we will focus more on code snippets both related to spark sql and spark mlip right and this live session will be on the coming sunday which is the 9th of august from 7 pm to 9 pm and this session is accessible to all of our course enrolled students via the desktop app and as usual we will use the slack miscellaneous channel that we have for all communication during the live session itself so all the students who are planning to attend this i strongly recommend that you check out our spark first session right so we already have the first live session that we conducted uh just a couple of weeks back so please check out that session before you come to this session because we will try to build on top of where we left off to continue on here so for spark itself in total probably we will require three sessions the first session where we understood the overview the second session where we will dive deep into the programming aspects more and more with some code walkthroughs also we believe that we might need one more session for spark where we will try to explain more code walkthroughs more end to end systems around spark right so with these three sessions you would get a very good practical as well as a deeper understanding of how spark works and how to leverage spark specifically spark sql spark ml if time permits will also touch upon a little bit of spark streaming in these three sessions again we gave an intuition of what spark streaming can do in the first session but we'll try to build on top of it in the next two sessions so this sunday and the next sunday we will do sessions on spark with that we will be it will be able to give you a good enough overview of actually using spark in real world applications right so please revise and please watch the session that we have already done uh just a couple of weeks back so that you are better prepared for the session that is that that will be conducted this weekendhi friends our next live session for all of our ai students is a continuation of what where we left off for spark right again this is the second live session related to spark where we will focus on spark sql and spark mlip in the previous session we understood the architecture of spark and we have seen a few code snippets in this session we will focus more on code snippets both related to spark sql and spark mlip right and this live session will be on the coming sunday which is the 9th of august from 7 pm to 9 pm and this session is accessible to all of our course enrolled students via the desktop app and as usual we will use the slack miscellaneous channel that we have for all communication during the live session itself so all the students who are planning to attend this i strongly recommend that you check out our spark first session right so we already have the first live session that we conducted uh just a couple of weeks back so please check out that session before you come to this session because we will try to build on top of where we left off to continue on here so for spark itself in total probably we will require three sessions the first session where we understood the overview the second session where we will dive deep into the programming aspects more and more with some code walkthroughs also we believe that we might need one more session for spark where we will try to explain more code walkthroughs more end to end systems around spark right so with these three sessions you would get a very good practical as well as a deeper understanding of how spark works and how to leverage spark specifically spark sql spark ml if time permits will also touch upon a little bit of spark streaming in these three sessions again we gave an intuition of what spark streaming can do in the first session but we'll try to build on top of it in the next two sessions so this sunday and the next sunday we will do sessions on spark with that we will be it will be able to give you a good enough overview of actually using spark in real world applications right so please revise and please watch the session that we have already done uh just a couple of weeks back so that you are better prepared for the session that is that that will be conducted this weekend\n"
