Requirements

---

No advanced Data Engineering or Azure experience is required. The course starts with the fundamentals.
A basic understanding of computers and data will be helpful, but beginners are welcome.
A stable internet connection is required to access the course content.
You can watch the course using a laptop, desktop computer, smartphone, tablet, or supported TV/device.
An Azure subscription is required only if you want to follow along and practice the hands-on demonstrations using the Azure Portal.
A laptop or desktop computer is recommended if you plan to follow the SQL, Python, and Azure hands-on exercises.

Welcome toHands-On Data Engineering & Data Analysis with Azure Cloud.
Data is at the center of modern businesses, but collecting data is only the beginning. Organizations need professionals who canstore, process, transform, analyze, and move data efficiently.
This course is designed to helpbeginner and intermediate learners build practical skills inData Analysis, SQL, Python, Cloud Computing, and Azure Data Engineering through hands-on learning.
We start from the fundamentals, so you don't need advanced Data Engineering or Azure knowledge to begin.
Start with Data Fundamentals
Before working with tools, you will build a strong understanding of important concepts such as
Data, Databases, and DBMS
Data Analysis
Data Engineering
Data Lifecycle
Modern Data Platforms
ETL vs ELT
Structured and Semi-Structured Data
Cloud Computing
These concepts will help you understand not onlyhow to use data technologies, but alsowhy and where they are used.
Learn SQL with Hands-On Practice
Next, you will learn SQL and relational database fundamentals.
You will work with SQL to
Create databases and tables
Understand SQL data types
Insert single and multiple records
Retrieve data using SELECT
Rename result columns using aliases
Filter data using WHERE
Work with comparison operators
Combine conditions using AND, OR, and NOT
Filter using IN, LIKE, BETWEEN, and IS NULL
Sort data using ORDER BY
Use aggregate functions
Summarize data using GROUP BY
Filter aggregated results using HAVING
But this course goes beyond simply watching SQL demonstrations.
You will gethands-on coding exercises where you can write SQL yourself and test your understanding.
The course also includesinteractive role-play activities designed to help you think like a Data Analyst and Data Engineer while solving realistic business Requirements

.
Python for Data Analysis
You will then explorePython and Pandas for Data Analysis.
You will learn how to
Load and inspect datasets
Understand rows, columns, and dataset structure
Identify missing values
Handle NULL values
Use median and other calculations
Handle missing values while considering categories
Perform basic data calculations
Work with string functions
Clean and prepare data for analysis
This provides practical exposure to how Python can be used to explore and prepare real-world datasets.
Move to Microsoft Azure Cloud
Once the fundamentals are clear, we take our data engineering journey to the cloud.
You will learn how to work with important Azure data services including
Azure SQL Database
Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS)
Azure Data Factory (ADF)
You will create Azure resources and connect to Azure SQL using tools such as SQL Server Management Studio and Azure's query tools.
Build Azure Data Factory Pipelines
A major part of this course focuses on hands-on Data Engineering usingAzure Data Factory.
You will learn how to
Create Azure Data Factory
Understand the ADF interface
Create Azure Data Lake Storage
Create Linked Services and Datasets
Connect source and destination systems
Build data pipelines
Copy data between systems
Execute and validate pipelines
Monitor pipeline executions
Create triggers to automate pipeline executions
Connect on-premises data using Self-hosted Integration Runtime
Move data from on-premises systems to Azure
Load multiple files
Build dynamic and reusable pipelines
Build Metadata-Driven Data Pipelines
Instead of creating a separate pipeline for every table or dataset, you will learn how to design ametadata-driven architecture.
You will see how metadata and dynamic configurations can help create more reusable and scalable data pipelines.
Implement Incremental Data Loading
Finally, you will work with one of the most important concepts in practical Data Engineering:Incremental Loading.
You will learn how to
Understand full load vs incremental load
Work with watermark values
Identify new or modified records
Dynamically retrieve watermark values
Load only required incremental data
Update watermark values using stored procedures
Validate incremental loads using different sets of data
Instead of reloading an entire dataset every time, you will understand how to design pipelines that processonly new or changed data.
Hands-On Learning Approach
The goal of this course is not just to introduce tools.
We follow a practical learning approach
Understand the Concept → Practice It → Build with It
By the end of the course, you will have a much clearer understanding of how data moves from source systems through processing and storage to become useful information for analytics-and how modern Azure Data Engineering solutions can be built to support that journey.
If you're ready to build practical skills inData Analysis and Azure Data Engineering, let's get started.
