Hi @MKSodhi , 

If you're new to apache spark I would start with following book. You can get it for free from databricks site:

https://pages.databricks.com/202003-US-EB-Learning-Spark-2nd-Edition_01_Downloadpage.html

Next, you can setup account on databricks community edition. You'll get access to datbricks environment for free where you will be able to practice. 

If you work for company that is customer of datbricks, you can also apply for access to databricks academy, which has plenty of great learning materials. Last but not least, there are a lot of great yt channels like advancing analytics. Try to use them.

If you have access to the content that partner companies provide, that would be the ideal way to start using Databricks in all aspects and specialize in the area you want, such as machine learning or data engineering. If you don't, there are many free resources available on YouTube, like this playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxy0DxWEupiNjGSv1hzRFBXgSzV-bZu94&si=0P1uac9F74ZuR4wC.

@igor779, @Rishabh-Pandey and @szymon_dybczak .
Thank you all for the suggestions! Unfortunately, I don’t have access to content from partner companies and mainly rely on free resources for my studies.
