Description
As part of this course, you will learn all the Data Engineering Essentials related to building Data Pipelines using SQL, Python as well as Spark.

About Data Engineering

Data Engineering is nothing but processing the data depending upon our downstream needs. We need to build different pipelines such as Batch Pipelines, Streaming Pipelines, etc as part of Data Engineering. All roles related to Data Processing are consolidated under Data Engineering. Conventionally, they are known as ETL Development, Data Warehouse Development, etc.

Course Details

As part of this course, you will be learning Data Engineering Essentials such as SQL, Programming using Python and Spark. Here is the detailed agenda for the course.

Data Engineering Labs – Python and SQL

You will start with setting up self-support Data Engineering Labs either on GCP or Cloud9 so that you can learn the key skills related to Data Engineering with a lot of practice leveraging tasks and exercises provided by us. As you pass the sections related to SQL and Python, you will also be guided to set up Hadoop and Spark Lab.

Provision GCP Server or AWS Cloud9 Instance

Setup Docker to host Postgres Database

Setup Postgres Database to practice SQL

Setup Jupyter Lab

Once Jupyter Lab is setup, you can upload the Jupyter Notebooks and start practicing all the key skills related to Data Engineering.

Database Essentials – SQL using Postgres

It is important for one to be proficient with SQL to take care of building data engineering pipelines. SQL is used for understanding the data, perform ad-hoc analysis, and also in building data engineering pipelines.

Getting Started with Postgres

Basic Database Operations (CRUD or Insert, Update, Delete)

Writing Basic SQL Queries (Filtering, Joins, and Aggregations)

Creating Tables and Indexes

Partitioning Tables and Indexes

Predefined Functions (String Manipulation, Date Manipulation, and other functions)

Writing Advanced SQL Queries

Programming Essentials using Python

Python is the most preferred programming language to develop data engineering applications. As part of several sections related to Python, you will be learning most of the important aspects of Python to build data engineering applications effectively.

Perform Database Operations

Getting Started with Python

Basic Programming Constructs

Predefined Functions

Overview of Collections – list and set

Overview of Collections – dict and tuple

Manipulating Collections using loops

Understanding Map Reduce Libraries

Overview of Pandas Libraries

Database Programming – CRUD Operations

Database Programming – Batch Operations

Setting up Single Node Data Engineering Cluster for Practice

The most common approach to build data engineering applications at scale is by using Spark integrated with HDFS and YARN. Before getting into data engineering using Spark and Hadoop, we need to set up an environment to practice data engineering using Spark. As part of this section, we will primarily focus on setting up a single node cluster to learn key skills related to data engineering using distributed frameworks such as Spark and Hadoop.

Setup Single Node Hadoop Cluster

Setup Hive and Spark on Single Node Cluster

Master required Hadoop Skills to build Data Engineering Applications

As part of this section, you will primarily focus on HDFS commands so that we can copy files into HDFS. The data copied into HDFS will be used as part of building data engineering pipelines using Spark and Hadoop with Python as Programming Language.

Overview of HDFS Commands

Data Engineering using Spark SQL

Let us, deep-dive into Spark SQL to understand how it can be used to build Data Engineering Pipelines. Spark with SQL will provide us the ability to leverage distributed computing capabilities of Spark coupled with easy-to-use developer-friendly SQL-style syntax.

Getting Started with Spark SQL

Basic Transformations

Managing Tables – Basic DDL and DML

Managing Tables – DML and Partitioning

Overview of Spark SQL Functions

Windowing Functions

Data Engineering using Spark Data Frame APIs

Spark Data Frame APIs are an alternative way of building Data Engineering applications at scale leveraging distributed computing capabilities of Spark. Data Engineers from application development backgrounds might prefer Data Frame APIs over Spark SQL to build Data Engineering applications.

Data Processing Overview

Processing Column Data

Basic Transformations – Filtering, Aggregations, and Sorting

Joining Data Sets

Windowing Functions – Aggregations, Ranking, and Analytic Functions

Spark Metastore Databases and Tables

Training Approach for learning required Data Engineering Skills

Here are the details related to the training approach for you to master all the key Data Engineering Skills to propel your career towards Data Engineering.

It is self-paced with reference material, code snippets, and videos provided as part of Udemy.

One can either use the environment provided by us or set up their own environment using Docker on AWS or GCP or the platform of their choice.

We would recommend completing 2 modules every week by spending 4 to 5 hours per week.

It is highly recommended to take care of the exercises at the end to ensure that you are able to meet all the key objectives for each module.

Support will be provided through Udemy Q&A.

The course is designed in such a way that one can self-evaluate through the course and confirm whether the skills are acquired.

Here is the approach we recommend you to take this course.

The course is hands-on with thousands of tasks, you should practice as you go through the course.

You should also spend time understanding the concepts. If you do not understand the concept, I would recommend moving on and come back later to the topic.

Go through the consolidated exercises and see if you are able to solve the problems or not.

Make sure to follow the order we have defined as part of the course.

After each and every section or module, make sure to solve the exercises. We have provided enough information to validate the output.
