Conference

A collection of resources for running trainings on SciSpark.

This repository is where we are building a collection of Zeppelin Notebooks that will be used for running three workshop sessions at the ESIP Summer Conference:

• SciSpark 101: Introduction to Scala for Scientists
• SciSpark 201: Algorithms for MCC Search and PDF Clustering using SciSpark
• SciSpark 301: Advanced SciSpark Usage for Building your own Climate Metrics

General Plan

• Develop iPython / Zeppelin Notebooks for all three workshops
• Capture snapshots of Notebooks along with other documentation and put it on the SciSpark web site, forming a standalone tutorial for use after first workshops.
• We will need to develop notebooks with complete lessons for the website and the "teacher's guide" then develop "student" editions that have space for people to play
• People involved in creating Notebooks and web site: sujen1412, kwhitehall, Valerie Roth, rahulpalamuttam, Loren, BrianWilson1, wmburke
• Workshop Participants can use SciSpark in three ways:
  • Standalone Spark on their laptops
  • SciSpark Cluster
  • Cluster at AWS brought up for the workshops
