Course Description

Empowering Analytics with Data Pipelines

Data pipelines are at the foundation of every strong data platform. Building these pipelines is an essential skill for data engineers, who provide incredible value to a business ready to step into a data-driven future. This introductory course will help you hone the skills to build effective, performant, and reliable data pipelines.

Building and Maintaining ETL Solutions

Throughout this course, you’ll dive into the complete process of building a data pipeline. You’ll grow skills leveraging Python libraries such as `pandas` and `json` to extract data from structured and unstructured sources before it’s transformed and persisted for downstream use. Along the way, you’ll grow confidence tools and techniques such as architecture diagrams, unit-tests, and monitoring that will help to set your data pipelines out from the rest. As you progress, you’ll put your new-found skills to the test with hands-on exercises.

Supercharge Data Workflows

After completing this course, you’ll be ready to design, develop and use data pipelines to supercharge your data workflow in your job, new career, or personal project.

    This course offers valuable insights into classes and inheritance in Python. There should be more software engineering and best coding practices design on the platform.

    This was a great intro to the concepts. Overall it walked through a lot of key items all through the ETL process. The section on testing felt a bit rushed and didn't have a ton of explanation to it, but it did talk about the importance of testing the work before sending it to prod.
