Hi @Advika

I'm currently doing the self-paced learning at the moment, for the Apache Spark Developer cert. I see that there's a lot of references to Labs throughout the material & even a github repo (which seems to be taken down?). 

Do you know if there's a plan to provide some hands-on material? Watching the videos is pretty passive. 

Interestingly, especially from a newbies point of view, Databricks Free Edition offers Serverless Compute. We can't actually interact with the Spark UI nor mess with the spark RDD api. This is supported by the documentation. It makes me wonder whether or the content should also place emphasis on Serverless and the Query Insights that it provides?

Would love to hear your thoughts. 

All the best,
BS
