Welcome to the Databricks Community, @DavidSandoval!
To get started with Data Engineering, I’d recommend starting with Data Engineer learning plan available in Databricks Customer Academy.
Please note that the courses included in this learning plan are free self-paced courses, so they do not include hands-on labs. If you’d like to practice with the labs, you can either:
- Enroll in an Instructor-Led Training (ILT) course – This provides access to the hands-on labs for seven days.
- Get a Databricks Academy Labs subscription (Databricks Academy → Subscription Plans → Databricks Academy Labs) – This is a great option for long-term learning, as it provides one year of access to both the labs and the self-paced courses included in the subscription.
For personal learning and practice, you can also use Databricks Free Edition. Please note that Free Edition does not include the guided labs used in the courses.
Hope this helps you get started with your Data Engineering journey! 🚀
