Databricks Orientation Video
I have uploaded a series of videos:

| Citi Bike Project 2: Tour of the Databricks Workspaces and Jobs | 33:49 |
| Citi Bike Project 1: Connecting Databricks Free Edition to GitHub | 15:12 |
If you have not yet sent me your github handle (or your team) please do so asap. Also, reach out to schedule your proposal presentations (this will be part of your proposal grade).
For development and demonstrating that your jobs/code will be safe to run and within the credit budget that databricks has given us, you will initially use databricks free edition workspaces. I’ve setup the code in the main repo so that you can replicate most of the workflow in free edition, though there will be some annoying caveats. But free edition gives roughly $30 per day of free usage and lets you experiment/mess around on the safe side. I’ll make a video that gives a tour of both the databricks workspace and the free edition that I use for development so that you can see what is required. Signup for databricks free edition here: https://docs.databricks.com/gcp/en/getting-started/free-edition. I had to use a different email address for free edition than my main account. Not sure if that is a me problem or something you will need to do too.
