Udemy – Azure Databricks & Spark Core For Data Engineers(PythonSQL)

What you’ll learn:
You will learn how to build a real world data project using Azure Databricks and Spark Core. This course has been taught using real world data from Formula1 motor racing
You will acquire professional level data engineering skills in Azure Databricks, Delta Lake, Spark Core, Azure Data Lake Gen2 and Azure Data Factory (ADF)
You will learn how to create notebooks, dashboards, clusters, cluster pools and jobs in Azure Databricks
You will learn how to ingest and transform data using PySpark in Azure Databricks
You will learn how to transform and analyse data using Spark SQL in Azure Databricks
You will learn about Data Lake architecture and Lakehouse architecture. Also, you will learn how to implement a solution for Lakehouse architecture using Delta Lake.
You will learn how to create Azure Data Factory pipelines to execute Databricks notebooks
You will learn how to create Azure Data Factory triggers to schedule pipelines as well as monitor them.
You will gain the skills required around Azure Databricks and Data Factory to pass the Azure Data Engineer Associate certification exam DP203, but the primary objective of the course is not to teach you to pass the exams.
You will learn how to connect to Azure Databricks from Pow
Requirements

Description
Welcome!
I am looking forward to helping you with learning one of the in-demand data engineering tools in the cloud, Azure Databricks! This course has been taught with implementing a data engineering solution using Azure Databricks and Spark core for a real world project of analysing and reporting on Formula1 motor racing data.
This is like no other course in Udemy for Azure Databricks. Once you have completed the course including all the assignments, I strongly believe that you will be in a position to start a real world data engineering project on your own and also proficient on Azure Databricks. I have also included lessons on Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, Azure Data Factory as well as PowerBI. The primary focus of the course is Azure Databricks and Spark core, but it also covers the relevant concepts and connectivity to the other technologies mentioned. Please note that the course doesn’t cover other aspects of Spark such as Spark streaming and Spark ML. Also the course has been taught using PySpark as well as Spark SQL; It doesn’t cover Scala or Java.
The course follows a logical progression of a real world project implementation with technical concepts being explained and the Databricks notebooks being built at the same time. Even though this course is not specifically designed to teach you the skills required for passing the Azure Data Engineer Associate Certification Exam DP203, it can greatly help you get most of the necessary skills required for the exam.
I value your time as much as I do mine. So, I have designed this course to be fast-paced and to the point. Also, the course has been taught with simple English and no jargons. I start the course from basics and by the end of the course you will be proficient in the technologies used.
Currently the course teaches you the following
Azure Databricks
Building a solution architecture for a data engineering solution using Azure Databricks, Azure Data Lake Gen2, Azure Data Factory and Power BI
Creating and using Azure Databricks service and the architecture of Databricks within Azure
