| Summary: |
As Oracle professionals we've been wrangling data for years, even decades, but how do we rebrand ourselves as an in-demand data engineer in 2022? A data engineer builds big data platforms, data pipelines, and data integrations as databases data warehouses and data lakes.
This session will take you through 8 short steps you can take today to tap into the red-hot field of data engineering. These include how to leverage your Oracle skills to cloud strategies, unstructured data, Apache Spark, Spark SQL, Python, R, and Scala. We explore the most marketable ways to solve data at scale, and how to transition your hard earned Oracle skills into this new area. Finally, the session is an invite to an eight-part hands-on series of training that we are launching. |
