Welcome to our Databricks Data Lakehouse in a Day course. In the ever-evolving world of Big Data processing, tools like Databricks are revolutionising the field, making it accessible to a broader range of professionals. You no longer need to be a Java guru to excel in Big Data engineering – Databricks simplifies the process, enabling easy cluster creation and unlocking the potential of Big Data processing with Apache Spark’s latest features.
Since 2023, we have also been recognised by Microsoft as a Specialist Partner for Analytics and AI & Machine Learning on Microsoft Azure. Six of our employees have been recognised by one of Microsoft’s most prestigious awards, the Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional). Our MVPs have been recognised for their community contributions and leadership across AI & Data Platform.
Advancing Analytics are a Big Data and AI consultancy with the aim of simplifying data. We function across 3 practices - Data Engineering, Analytics, and AI - and work at the bleeding edge of tech. We don't believe in gatekeeping, which is why we have our YouTube channel and self-paced learning academy. Sometimes, you don't know what you don't know, which is why we think education and training is so important across an organisation, and why we're partnering with Databricks to offer a Data Lakehouse in a Day course.
Simon Whiteley, our Director of Data Engineering (and primary face of our YouTube channel) will be running the day. He's a Microsoft Data Platform MVP and one of only 13 Databricks Beacons. Simon co-founded Advancing Analytics and since the start, has been keen on both the Data Lakehouse and education - a perfect combo for this course!
