TOP REVIEWS FROM MODERNIZING DATA LAKES AND DATA WAREHOUSES WITH GOOGLE CLOUD

by AWApr 15, 2020

Good course but perhaps to make things stick, we would have used one project and built upon it. I felt like I was being tossed all over the place in terms of subjects and topics.

by JNDec 5, 2020

Really well put together with interesting content and good examples. The labs allow really good practice and help to build confidence.

by PTJan 29, 2020

The labs were awesome! The trainers in the video and in the demo were well prepared. The quizes however were short and not well thoughtful.

by AAFeb 14, 2020

Good introduction and overview of the field of data engineering, data lakes and modern data warehouses and a hands-on walkthrough of all the technologies related to solving these problems on GCP.
