Starter Code

Below, you'll generate starter code to create a Spark session and read in the dataset for the DSND Capstone Project, Sparkify. First, download the dataset "medium_sparkify_event_data.json" attached at the bottom of this page in the classroom. Then, click on the Data icon on the top right of your IBM notebook and upload your file.

Select the arrow next to "Insert to code" and select "Insert SparkSession DataFrame." This will generate code in the first cell of your notebook.

Comment out the last two lines of the code generated, and run this cell to read in your data!

You're ready to get started building your model on IBM Cloud!
