This event is part of our weekly fireside chat series of Code Fever & BlackTech Week’s first-of-its-kind VC in Residence program\, where America’s top VC’s spend a month in Miami advising and guiding Black\, Latinx and Caribbean entrepreneurs begins April 3\, 2017. Sponsored by The Knight Foundation.\nThe program’s first VC in Residence is Marlon Nichols\, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Cross Culture Ventures\, former investment director at Intel Capital\, and one of our nation’s trailblazers in culture and inclusion in tech investing. Entrepreneur-in-residence programs are commonly hosted at universities\, tech accelerators\, corporations and VC firms and serve to support entrepreneurs\, solve problems\, and help innovate. Code Fever believes that borrowing from this model\, and inviting VC’s to spend a month in residence in communities where there’s little access to funding\, can completely reshape the way Black communities are valued in the innovation sector. -Office Hours with Rodney Williams available via phone upon request on 4/22\nAbout Cross Culture Ventures (www.crossculturevc.com) Cross Culture Ventures is an early stage venture capital firm headquartered in Los Angeles\, CA with a presence in Palo Alto\, CA.

This event is part of our weekly fireside chat series of Code Fever & BlackTech Week’s first-of-its-kind VC in Residence program\, where America’s top VC’s spend a month in Miami advising and guiding Black\, Latinx and Caribbean entrepreneurs begins April 3\, 2017. Sponsored by The Knight Foundation.\nThe program’s first VC in Residence is Marlon Nichols\, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Cross Culture Ventures\, former investment director at Intel Capital\, and one of our nation’s trailblazers in culture and inclusion in tech investing. Entrepreneur-in-residence programs are commonly hosted at universities\, tech accelerators\, corporations and VC firms and serve to support entrepreneurs\, solve problems\, and help innovate. Code Fever believes that borrowing from this model\, and inviting VC’s to spend a month in residence in communities where there’s little access to funding\, can completely reshape the way Black communities are valued in the innovation sector. -Office Hours with Rodney Williams available via phone upon request on 4/22\nAbout Cross Culture Ventures (www.crossculturevc.com) Cross Culture Ventures is an early stage venture capital firm headquartered in Los Angeles\, CA with a presence in Palo Alto\, CA.

SUMMARY:Apache Spark Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Half day Apache Spark from the Scratch. We will look at:\n0. Getting Spark ready on your computer.\n1. Apache Spark Computation Model RDDs (Resilient Distributed Datasets).\n– Lazy nature of RDDs.\n– RDD transformations vs actions.\n– How to create RDD from different sources (let’s play with some datasets).\n– RDD API. How to bend it to our needs.\n2. Spark SQL\n– Interoperability with RDDs.\n– SQL on top of RDDs.\n– Accessing to Tabular Data Sources.\n– Data Frames optimization on top of RDDs.\n– Distributed SQL Engine case of study.\n3. Spark Streaming. – Streaming API.\n– Streaming Sources.\n– Extending the API. – Twitter case of study\n– Interoperability with SQL and RDDs\nYour are expected to follow along with code examples\, so we will be helping you to install Spark locally as the first part of the sessions. More details coming soon.
