Description
Welcome to "Data Architecture Mastery and Microsoft Fabric"!Please note, this is NOT a data engineering course. Data Architecture is about designing a blueprint that you can use to develop your data estate. Although the course talks about different technologies, it doesn't look at the technicalities of all of these tools. You would need to take a different course for this.In addition, the course explains key terms and concepts using slides. It is important to cover the theory so you have a grounding in key concepts. You will get the opportunity to try designing your own architecture blueprint in the Capstone Project so there are practical elements to this course. The course does cover technical examples in Microsoft Fabric to showcase how you can use concepts like data lakes and data warehouses to create your data estate.Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey into the heart of data architecture? This course is your passport to mastering the art of designing data landscapes, where creativity meets strategy to shape the future of information systems.Unlock the Power of Data Design:Data architecture isn't just about technicalities; it's about crafting a plan that transforms raw data into invaluable insights. Join us to discover the pivotal role of data architecture in building robust systems and designing data structures that stand the test of time.Foundations of Mastery:Our course begins with a deep dive into the fundamentals, unraveling the significance of data and exploring the three essential levels of data modeling. From the conceptual realm to the tangible physical structures, you'll develop a profound understanding of how to architect information effectively.Visualize with ERDs:Become a master storyteller with Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs). We guide you through the art of creating visual narratives that breathe life into complex data relationships. The Online Retail Store example becomes your canvas as you craft compelling ERDs that resonate with clarity.Dynamic Data Management with Medallion Architecture:Leave behind static approaches. Dive into the dynamic realm of Medallion Architecture, where you'll apply the Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers to elevate data quality and usability. Transform raw data into curated datasets that unveil new dimensions of value.Technologies Decoded:Navigate the diverse landscape of data technologies without getting lost in technical jargon. From Database Management Systems (DBMS) to tools for DBMS and Lake Houses, you'll gain the wisdom to choose and leverage the right tech for any scenario.Capstone Project: Design Tomorrow's Data Landscape: Apply your newfound knowledge in a hands-on Capstone Project. Craft a logical model, construct an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD), and implement the three stages of Medallion Architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold) using the real-world Adventure Works dataset. Showcase your mastery and design tomorrow's data landscape!Microsoft Fabric: Apply your newfound knowledge by using Microsoft Fabric to create a lakehouse, data warehouse or dataset directly in Power BI. Learn how to ingest data, model relationships and automate data refreshes.
