This is two weeks of coursework to prepare you for our bootcamp. This course covers basic computer skills and the python programming language.
This course must be completed before the start of class. It is pass/fail, based on attendance and turning in the assignments. Students can miss up to two hours of the pre-enrollment course. Missing more than two hours disqualifies a student from enrolling in the next cohort of bootcamp, though they may petition for an exception.
The workshop follows the same format as our bootcamp and it is a great way to get familiar with our class. It’s taught live (online) Monday-Thursday, 9am-noon PST. Friday attendance is based on turning in the completed assignment for that day. Late assignments are accepted, but must be turned in before the start of bootcamp.
All the material for this course is available online at https://github.com/datastackacademy/data-engineering-101. The objective of this course is to cover:
Attending the Data Engineering 101 course does not obligate students to register for or enroll in bootcamp.
