Sblocca tutto il potenziale della trasformazione dei dati con il nostro corso pratico su un caso di studio dbt (Data Build Tool). Pensato per chi è agli inizi con dbt, il corso punta su esercizi concreti e realistici che ti offrono molte opportunità per creare, trasformare e affinare la padronanza dei comandi dbt essenziali. Con la pratica diretta, acquisirai sicurezza in ogni fase del processo—dalla configurazione dell’ambiente dbt alla creazione di modelli avanzati che risolvono sfide di business critiche. Grazie ad esercizi interattivi, costruirai l’esperienza necessaria per affrontare con sicurezza progetti ETL di dati reali.

Trasforma i dati grezzi in modelli puliti e affidabili usando dbt (Data Build Tool), un moderno framework di trasformazione basato su SQL che usano i team di dati di tutto il mondo. Questo corso pratico con casi di studio è pensato per chi sta iniziando e vuole imparare cose utili nella vita di tutti i giorni con esercizi pratici guidati. Configurerai il tuo ambiente dbt, modellerai i dati su larga scala e scriverai codice riutilizzabile usando le funzionalità integrate di dbt.<br><br><h2>Prepara il tuo progetto e dai un'occhiata ai dati</h2>Inizia creando un progetto dbt e lavorando con un vero set di dati di e-commerce. Strutturerai i dati grezzi, configurerai i profili e risolverai i problemi di sintassi, mentre capirai meglio il contesto aziendale dietro ogni fase della trasformazione.<br><br><h2>Costruire e verificare modelli</h2>Impara a creare modelli di staging scalabili e ad applicare controlli di qualità dei dati per assicurarti che i tuoi set di dati siano accurati e pronti per l'analisi. Metterai le basi giuste per rispondere alle domande più importanti sul business.<br><br><h2>Automatizza con Jinja</h2>Finisci il corso imparando a usare Jinja per scrivere codice che puoi riutilizzare e mantenere. Userai variabili, flusso di controllo e loop per seguire il principio DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself, non ripeterti) e semplificare il tuo flusso di lavoro dbt.
