    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for sharing this, Tushar.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I think this is really useful, especially for people who want to learn Databricks but don’t know where to start. Having both options helps a lot:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Learning Paths for structure&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Free instructor-led sessions for people who learn better with live guidance&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;I also like that the Fundamentals course and Free Edition give newcomers a practical starting point without needing to set up too much upfront.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Definitely bookmarking this.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
