Databricks beginner
Hi guys, I've decided to learn data engineering (Databricks) seriously after sleeping on it for a long time. I already have a good grasp of the basics: SQL, Python, database. I do a bit of data modeling with Power BI, and I have 1 project where I build a data pipeline on Databricks. I'm thinking about getting Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate, but I don't know where to start. There are also a lot of online courses, I don't know which one to take. A few videos I found on Youtube only talk about how to use the platform, which I think is not enough. I'd appreciate some tips on the tech stack & learning resources (book, video, courses...). Thank you!
