<h3>Hands-On Exercises</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://spark-summit.org/2013/exercises/">Hands-on exercises</a> are available online from Spark Summit 2013. These exercises let you launch a small EC2 cluster, load a dataset, and query it with Spark, Shark, Spark Streaming, and MLLib.</li>
</ul>
<a name="summit"></a>
<h3>Training Materials</h3>
<ul>
<li>The 2nd day of <a href="http://spark-summit.org/2013">Spark Summit 2013</a> was a training session, and you can find the slides and videos from that inline in <a href="http://spark-summit.org/summit-2013/#agendapluginwidget-5">the training day agenda</a>.
The session also included <a href="http://spark-summit.org/2013/exercises/">exercises</a> that you can walk through yourself, which will guide you through launching a Spark cluster on EC2 and using various Spark components to analyze real data.</li>
<li>The <a href="https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/">UC Berkeley AMPLab</a> regularly hosts training camps on Spark and related projects.
Slides, videos and EC2-based exercises from each of these are available online:
