Ontgrendel de kracht van datatransformatie met onze praktische dbt (Data Build Tool) casestudiecursus. Ontwikkeld voor beginnende dbt-gebruikers, richt deze cursus zich op realistische, hands-on oefeningen die je meerdere kansen geven om essentiële dbt-opdrachten te bouwen, transformeren en verfijnen. Door zelf aan de slag te gaan, krijg je vertrouwen in elke stap van het proces—van het opzetten van je dbt-omgeving tot het maken van geavanceerde modellen die kritieke zakelijke uitdagingen oplossen. Met interactieve oefeningen bouw je de ervaring op die je nodig hebt om echte ETL-projecten voor data-pijplijnen met vertrouwen aan te pakken.

Zet ruwe data om in nette, betrouwbare modellen met dbt (Data Build Tool) – een modern, op SQL gebaseerd transformatieframework dat door datateams over de hele wereld wordt gebruikt. Deze praktische casestudiecursus is bedoeld voor mensen die net beginnen en via begeleide, praktische oefeningen echte vaardigheden willen opdoen. Je gaat je eigen dbt-omgeving opzetten, gegevens op grote schaal modelleren en herbruikbare code schrijven met de ingebouwde functies van dbt.<br><br><h2>Zet je project op en check de gegevens</h2>Begin met het opzetten van een dbt-project en werk met een echte e-commerce dataset. Je gaat ruwe data structureren, profielen instellen en syntaxproblemen oplossen, terwijl je inzicht krijgt in de zakelijke context achter elke transformatiestap.<br><br><h2>Modellen bouwen en valideren</h2>Leer hoe je schaalbare stagingmodellen kunt maken en datakwaliteitscontroles kunt toepassen om ervoor te zorgen dat je datasets accuraat en klaar voor analyse zijn. Je legt een stevige basis voor het beantwoorden van belangrijke zakelijke vragen.<br><br><h2>Automatiseer met Jinja</h2>Rond de cursus af door te leren hoe je Jinja kunt gebruiken om herbruikbare, onderhoudbare code te schrijven. Je gaat variabelen, controlestromen en loops gebruiken om het DRY-principe (Don't Repeat Yourself) te volgen en je dbt-workflow te stroomlijnen.
