+ "This is a short introduction and quickstart for PySpark DataFrame.
PySpark DataFrame is lazily evaludated and implemented on thetop of
[RDD](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/rdd-programming-guide.html#overview).
When the data is
[transformed](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/rdd-programming-guide.html#transformations),
it does not actually compute but plans how to compute later. When the
[actions](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/rdd-programming-guide.html#actions)
such as `collect()` are explicitly called, the computation starts.\n",
+ "This notebook shows the basic usages of the DataFrame, geared mainly for
new users. You can run the latest version of these examples by yourself on a
live notebook
[here](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/databricks/apache/master?filepath=python%2Fdocs%2Fsource%2Fgetting_started%2Fquickstart.ipynb).\n",

DataFrames](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html),

is the entry point of PySpark as below. In case of running it in PySpark shell
via <code>pyspark</code> executable, the shell automatically creates the
session in the variable <code>spark</code> for users."
