I decided to begin my transition from DA to DE. I have the first 2 books you mentioned + a few use my classes on Python for pipelines and AWS intro to hopefully take one of the certs in the next 2-4 months. Your vid’s have been super helpful in providing a starting point and what to expect as a DE. Thank you!
To be honest I think it's better to read DDIA before diving into particular tools like Spark/Kafka. It would enhance one's abilities to comprehend the content of these books. But maybe the essential knowledge there is covered in these beginner books to some degree - I have only read Kimball from that bucket.
I am reading Fluent Python 2nd Edition, and it is incredible, I already had 4 years of experience working on Python and that book picked me up to the next level
Thank you so much for sharing this! I've been a Data Analyst in a bank for the last 3 months and it's my first IT job, so thankful for all your advice, guiding and valuable information! Take care and be happy!
Nothing like "must read" of 9 books to make people not even start considering deep diving into the topic. Data engineers are software engineers that found data interesting, or dta scientists that found software engineering interesting. Its great knowledge to have if youre practicing either of these domains.
For "Data pipelines pocket reference", I can give a headsup that you probably want to understand python, or have GPT around to get the syntax explained. (Wrote a bit about it on medium. You can find it under my name, but I dont want to paste my stuff here, not sure if it is against the policy of the channel.)
Great list, still relevant for 2024! Do you think its worth it to read both FODE and DDIA? I feel like having read the first the second might be covering the same topics
Hi! Great video!! How about Kimball's Data Warehouse toolkit books? Should we read all these books ?? Should we read only The Definitive Guide to Dimensional Modeling ? Which ones are rhe best ? Could you please advise us about it ??
Wait did i actually show the Bible! I am asking because I don't see where I did it and I actually have my Bible on top of Joe's book so perhaps I had to move it when grabbing it and I didn't realize I left it in.
I have been studying to become data analyst 1 year and have landed a job, now i want to become a data engineer. How long does it realistically take? Because I heard no company hires anyoneone unless you have at least 3years of working experience with data
