Issue with Apache Spark™ Programming with Databricks course

[Vsleg]

Hello,

I found an issue with the Apache Spark™ Programming with Databricks courses on Databricks Academy when trying to do the labs.

The mount that the courses use for training data is failing with what looks to me like an authentication issue (see screenshot below). Has anyone come across this and found a fix?

 

Kind regards,

Vincent

I found the course Git Repo at (https://github.com/databricks-academy/apache-spark-programming-with-databricks-english), this works so using that instead of the 'apache-spark-programming-with-databricks.dbc' file available in the learning portal. #DAIS2023

Hello, ok I understand that but nobody else answered the question so it's still the best answer..You can find my email under my profile.

Apparently Databricks has moved this repo off of Github and refers to the message below. I am getting the same error as the original poster mentioned above and I cannot find any updated material to follow along with the course.

Does anyone out there know if there is an updated file that hasn't been shared yet? I marked the course as Outdated, not sure how fast they will fix this but it's kind of frustrating as I'm currently studying for the Spark Developer Cert and want to follow along in the material.

The courseware materials for this course are no longer available through GitHub.
