Analytics Engineering with dbt: Model Data the Way Software Ships — the free Preview

This page is the real first concept of Analytics Engineering with dbt: Model Data the Way Software Ships (Signature Course No. 430) — not a trailer and not a video. You work through Concept 1, “The Analytics Engineering Seat,” in a Socratic conversation with an AI coach: she asks before she teaches, builds on your own answers, and holds you to a mastery bar before the concept counts as done.

What this course teaches. Model warehouse data the way software ships: declare sources under contract, build the staging, intermediate, and mart layers at declared grains, write tests and documentation as the project's two contracts, ship through environments, an integration gate, and freshness checks that fail loudly — and define every metric once, in the semantic layer.

How the Preview works. Meet Sutton, our Head Coach, then request your free Preview key — it arrives by email in a moment.

One concept, one five-minute conversation, coached exactly as enrolled learners meet it. When you’re ready for all 18 concepts, the full course is $195.
