Hi @Jim_Anderson,
I'd love how this pathway is set and how utmost of a knowledge repository this is.
I wanted to reach out to you to understand how to access the notebooks used in these courses. I've tried to seek this out via the workspace, discover feature in the Databricks free edition but wasn't able to. Can you guide me through?
Thanks in advance.

THanks for the feedback! We don't share the notebooks provided within our self-paced learning pathways, but the best way to gain hands on experience would be via the Databricks Academy Labs annual subscription, which provides unlimited access to all of our pre-provisioned hands-on lab environments
