Data engineering is the area of data science that focuses on practical applications of data collection and analysis. This 12-video course helps learners explore distributed systems, batch versus in-memory processing, NoSQL uses, and the various tools available for data management/big data and the ETL (extract, transform, and load) process. Begin with an overview of distributed systems from a data perspective. Then look at differences between batch and in-memory processing. Learn about NoSQL stores and their use, and tools available for data management. Explore ETL-what it is, the process, and the different tools available. Learn to use Talend Open Studio to showcase the ETL concept. Next, examine data modeling and creating a data model in Talend Open Studio. Explore the hierarchy of needs when working with AI and machine learning. In another tutorial, learn how to create a data partition. Then move on to data engineering and best practices, with a look at approaches to building and using data reporting tools. Conclude with an exercise designed to create a data model.
