Start your review of Data Engineering with AWS

  • The project gave me a better knowledge about OLAP vs. OLTP, normalization, denormalization, and how to implement it into practice. I have been working in Data Engineering field for 3 years, but the program has given me a clear understanding about why we need those concepts in DE fields.
  • Data Engineering at Udacity is quite interesting, cool interface/videos and all lessons are well structured with real life project.

    I love the project , the reviewers comments and generally the way it was reviewed!
  • Really enjoyed the course. I had some previous knowledge of some of the topics, but there were still things I learned from the course. The projects were well-designed and gave me the feeling to be working on some semi-realistic scenario without being too hard.
  • I'm working as dwh engineer and want to forward to check how data engineer stuff going on and I did some research about which course or programm I should start study on then I find udacity and few other programms and compare them by content difference , which tools they are using while course going on ,which technologies they are prefer to apply and how these are fits to real life scenarios and belive me the one of most important point is evaluation proccess of your projects and asking questions to MENTORS (till now I can't see any question not answered). I see udacity far best ! . I advice you to check udacity courses before you decide to start.

    I've just completed the first project. The project was great since it's what you'd expect to be able to do at work, and the reviewer's comments and guidance were helpful and informative!

    I am very happy with the content and this first project has helped me a lot to better understand the technical concepts. Thank you!
