God, I absolutely hate the AWS user interface! I struggle with it so much. Not to mention the annoying log in process that Amazon uses. The course is great, but not the tool. It was extremely frustrating to me that I seriously had to quit. This is the same with Tableau.. guess we all have our own prefs! Great content and I love the Data Engineer courses!

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Woah you quit a job because of AWS. Which cloud do you like?

[@kanui3618]

So which course do you pick at the end?

[@miguelalcorta3558]

Fantastic video and it's incredible to see how dialed in you are getting with each and every upload!

[@SeattleDataGuy]

You're so kind! I am always trying to make small improvements.

[@LukeBarousse]

Very much agree about Mosh's python tutorials! Such a great resource... although I think they skipped over teaching the `luke_barousse` library 😂 Thanks for the shoutout, Ben!!

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Yeah, too bad Mosh doesn't reference the luke_barousse library! Thanks for making such solid content.

[@ryanmcclintick600]

Thanks for the vod. Appreciate u clearly explaining different resources for multiple aspects of breaking into the data field. I have been making an interactive data system with student/admin portals with smartsheets (kinda like excel) for a private school students to make work easier for admin duties. I did not realize this was databasing work. This channel has been a sort of gateway to exploring this field further.

Thanks Ben, needed this for next semester!

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Good luck on your next semester. Any big projects you have planned?

[@MilanManise]

@@SeattleDataGuy Haven't planned anything but starting to look more into DE projects because I'm just finished my first Data Science internship. (kind of an MLE role) I concluded that ML isn't something I would like to do in the future and I would like to develop my technical skills further.

[@awakened514]

I suspect Boris Paskhaver’s course at Udemy is the best one out there for absolute beginners to novice level programmers. Possibly for intermediate level too.

[@dmitriyobidin6049]

Data engineering vs python backend developer - what specialists are paid more? Why would python developers choose data engineering when on average they can be paid better as backend developers?

[@SeattleDataGuy]

This really depends company to company. I am sure in some places DEs make more and others SWEs make more. For example at FB, SWEs make more.

[@ewi53890]

Do you have a preference for a PC or MAC when starting out?

[@ousamabouafia8361]

What do you think about : Udemy - data engineering essentials using python sql and pyspark Then - Udemy - 50 hour of big data pyspark - aws , scala and scrapping

[@doluobatusin3689]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing these resources. Are there conferences or groups dedicated to data engineering that you can recommend?

[@SeattleDataGuy]

The data engineering subreddit is actually really good www.reddit.com/r/dataengineering/

[@i5ramnew864]

Awesome video. I am currently trying to make a shift of industry and I have sign up for the IBM professional data engineering in Coursera. Do you think this is a good route? Or should I look to other resources?

[@SeattleDataGuy]

It depends on your general background. The biggest thing that will always help is experience. But certificates can be great to show your interest to some hiring managers

[@kanui3618]

Pyton vs scala. which one do you recommend?

[@maddid1234]

What about JAVA vs SCALA ? Do you see java useful for data engineer?

[@SeattleDataGuy]

I probably have some bias since I learned Java first. But overall I have personally seen more need for scala since a lot of people use it for Flink and Spark.

[@ukaszdugozima816]

Hello! Thank you for your invaluable video! I find it extremely useful for beginners! I would like to ask about one thing regarding this map. I learnt Pandas in terms of Data Wrangling and Transformation. Therefore, how about Pandas for Data Engineers? Is it useful tool for ETL/ELT transformations? Obviously, the next step will be PySpark, but I would like to start learninig Pandas. It seems it is a good path for the next one. What do you think about it ? I would appreciate it if you could share your views about it.

[@cateclism316]

I have strong SQL skills, which I used as part of my software QA career. I also know some C++, Java, and C#. I am definitely interested in data engimeering. What kept me away from data was the math and statistics part.

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Thats awesome! DE isn't too much math. If it were data science, then yes. But you can probably just add some data warehousing and data pipelines and you're pretty much there

[@MAMUNRASHID32442323149-]

Hey, I am actually aiming for intern roles in Data Engineer domain. What skills should I have in my resume, ideally. I am a graduate student in CS and have knowledge in DBMS, SQL and Python. Can you please guide me?

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Yes those skills are good. But also if you can get some ETL/ELT as well as at least a high level understanding of distributed systems that would also be good.

Thanks for the comment. Good luck on your journey. We are all figuring it out.

[@anthonywong1781]

For learning Python, would you say mastering NumPy and pandas beyond the essentials is a must so far as landing a Junior DE position is concerned?

[@SeattleDataGuy]

It will depend on the company. Some companies expect you to know Dataframes others don't. For example, Facebook would prefer you have strong SQL skills.

[@jiangao4426]

Can we get an update for 2023 / 2024? Thanks :)

[@Viper-sn5cx]

Is the Google cloud engineer cert for beginners with no prior knowledge of anything cloud related? I thought there were a few certs before that one. Love the channel btw your my go to guy for all data queries haha

[@sourabhkumar8140]

Awesome video, really helpful. One qq, In most of the Job description I saw, Big data (and related tech) is basic requirement for DE. what's your thought on this? If someone has to pick between AWS certification and Big data one, which one should be priority?

[@SeattleDataGuy]

In general you will need to have some understanding of big data. But what that means is so broad. I wouldn't worry too much if you're just getting started in your DE career. Learn about some distributed systems, but more from a high level.

[@saturdayboy]

I can't find the video with the second part that is mentioned at the end of this video. Does anyone know what the title is?

So I'm still in my college so I will be glad ,if all you professionals once look into this I'm currently learning hadoop and spark and I'm confident in my java programming ,and after watching your videos I was planning to start learning SQL as well.So should I choose Mysql or postgreSQL or anyother and so finally this how my to-do list looks like Learn SQL Learn Scala Learn Hadoop Learn Spark Learn ETL(Extract,Transform,Load) .By the way I'm just a beginner in python ,so do you think i can start my carrer as data engineer with these and should I focus learning more on scala or python or just leave java as it is.

[@SeattleDataGuy]

Nice! Where are you on your to do list?

[@max77107]

Is there a reason that you did not mention leetcode? I thought especially for interview prep lc would be kinda like gold standard

[@SeattleDataGuy]

I think there are a lot of great options. I reference leetcode in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6e1l4eQmcedqq8. But also, I do find that there are some online study programs that have literally...somehow..gotten real questions or slightly modified questions from tech companies so if you split your time between leetcode, interviewquery and strata scratch, you're likely going to be good.

Gitflow (a strong knowlege of git and control of versions) , devops and/or MLops, Unix commands for automatization , jenkins (for testing and deploy automatization) and dockers, this will open the gates in a lot of companies, knowlege in a cloud technology will help too

[@junouku7983]

I have a question, I what about R programming language? Would it be beneficial to learn and what purpose does it serve in the Data Engineering world? I'm very new to this and trying to find some guidance on what language would be good to learn. I'm really interested in R though. For more clarification I want to go into Machine Learning and A.I. I would appreciate your insight

[@SeattleDataGuy]

I don't think R is very helpful for DE roles. If you want to do data science and research sure. But implementation of a lot of models isn't often in R, sometimes not even python. So it depends on if you're interested in research, ML engineering, etc.

I took Alan Simons Udemy Data Warehouse course you recommended and I love it.

[@SeattleDataGuy]

1. I would say learn the terminology for SDLC and maybe hold off on CI/CD and devops, unless you're already a mid-level engineer. If you're early on enough you won't be expected to do as much of this. I don't have a specific course as I learned most of this on the job or in a few courses at school. I will have to check for courses 2. For normalization I would say check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/omandKF5r6mVbsk.
