Lesson Descriptions
Lesson 1: Modern Data Lakes
Lesson 1 lays the groundwork for the course by discussing the history of big data and the modern data landscape. It explores data warehouses and data lakes in the context of today's AI. By the end of the lesson, you will have more of a big-picture understanding of how data engineering fits into today's modern systems.
Lesson 2: Fundamentals of Database Engineering
In Lesson 2 you dive into a discussion of fundmental concepts in database enginerring: data models and data stores. This sets you up for the hands-on portion of the lesson: loading data into DuckDB, an open source, column-oriented relational database management system.
Lesson 3: Data Transformation
Lesson 3 introduces data transformation. Unfortunately, data in its raw format is typically not read for processing and analysis. It needs to be transformed into something usable, and that is where the extract, transform, and load concepts come in. Christina also discusses SQL and Python in this context. The lesson finishes up with another hands-on demonstration, introducing dbt, a tool for building, testing, and deploying robust data pipelines.
Lesson 4: Workflow Orchestration
Lesson 4 tackles workflow orchestration, the coordinating of multiple tasks across applications. Christina discusses tools such as Airflow, Dagster, and Prefect before turning to a hands-on demo on Dagster assets. She finishes up by helping you put it all together with Dagster and dbt.
Lesson 5: Future of Data Engineering
Christina finishes the video discussing where data engineering is going and helping tie that into where you are going with your data engineering career. She discusses topics like whether or not you need a degree related to computer science and/or data analytics or whether it is more important to dig in and get experience with data. She finishes up by briefly discussing next steps for you.
