That's a bold claim. Is this a marketing post for selling courses?

He does sell a course, but the repo is open-source with contributions from others. It’s got solid resources, and I found it pretty useful.

It’s a plug for the author’s discord server (first entry under the “must-join” communities list).
Pro tip for any aspiring DEs: you can ignore 98% of the linked junk on this repo. Learn python, learn SQL, read DDIA, and you’ll do fine.

Interesting

#7I highly recommend Fundamental of Data Engineering book [1].
Hopefully the authors can update the book soon to reflect the latest information and expand with another entire chapter for data management as they did to data architecture.

#9Kimball's Data Warehousing book is excellent.
"You can save more souls with roller skates and Easy-Bake Ovens than with this 2,000-page sleeping pill" The Simpsons Season 13, Episode 6 :-)
I first learned about star schemas from one of Kimball's books years ago. The content was good, but the writing style wasn’t particularly engaging.
I think the books remain relevant for foundational concepts like dimensional modeling, but Kimball's focus reflected the dominant dbs of the time like Oracle and SQL Server. Columnar databases such as MonetDB were niche and not widely adopted... If I remember right, I don't think Kimball books cover those more than a passing mention.
Are there any more modern books about warehousing out there you would recommend? (other than DDIA, which is brought up all the time these days).

#10This isn’t a handbook wtf. It’s more akin to an Awesome [topic] list like Awesome Python on GitHub showing all sorts of projects and things related to the language.
