Get Started with Databricks: End to End

This course is a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. You will follow a single end-to-end journey that starts in the workspace and finishes with an introduction to AI and machine learning, covering the everyday skills you need to work with data on Databricks.


The course covers:

• Navigating the Databricks workspace, compute options, and the Lakehouse versus Genie experiences.

• Understanding and ingesting data with Unity Catalog, including file upload and the Catalog Explorer.

• Working in Databricks notebooks and using Genie Code to write and debug code.

• Querying data with SQL, managing saved queries, and building dashboards and visualizations.

• Exploring data in natural language with Genie Agents.

• An introduction to AI and machine learning with MLflow and the Data Science Agent.


By the end of the course, you will be comfortable navigating Databricks, finding and governing data in Unity Catalog, writing SQL and notebook code with AI assistance, building dashboards, and exploring data with Genie.


You can create a Databricks Free Edition account and try the follow-along demos in a hands-on environment.

Data Ingestion with Lakeflow Connect - Mandarin Chinese

本课程全面介绍 LakeFlow Connect——一种可扩展且简便的解决方案,用于将来自各种来源的数据摄取到 Databricks 中。您将首先浏览 LakeFlow Connect 连接器的不同类型(标准型和托管型),并学习各种数据摄取技术,包括批处理摄取、增量批处理摄取和流式处理摄取。您还将了解使用 Delta 表和金银铜架构的主要优势。

接下来,您将培养使用 LakeFlow Connect 标准连接器从云对象存储摄取数据的实践技能。这包括使用 CREATE TABLE AS SELECT(CTAS)、COPY INTO 和 Auto Loader 等方法,并重点介绍每种方法的优势和注意事项。您还将学习如何在将数据摄取到 Databricks Data Intelligence Platform 的过程中,向铜层表追加元数据列。课程随后介绍如何使用救援数据列处理与表架构不匹配的记录,以及管理和分析此类数据的策略。您还将探索摄取和展平半结构化 JSON 数据的技术。

此后,您将探索如何使用 LakeFlow Connect 托管连接器执行企业级数据摄取,以引入来自数据库和软件即服务(SaaS)应用程序的数据。课程还将介绍 Partner Connect,作为将合作伙伴工具集成到摄取工作负载中的一种选项。

最后,课程以替代摄取策略作为总结,包括 MERGE INTO 运营以及利用 Databricks Marketplace,为您奠定坚实的基础,以支持现代数据工程用例。
