Great feedback. Data Engineering sounds interesting but also appears to require heavy statistics. Unsure if an introductory course here is sufficient, or if whether one would have more success familiarizing with the tooling/software available.
- cyberdrunk 6y ago> Data Engineering sounds interesting but also appears to require heavy statistics. That's Data Science. Data Engineering is just writing code (pipelines in Spark usually) which moves data from system A to B and perhaps applies some machine learning code, supplied by data scientists, to it. But, most of the work is just moving data around. I work with dozens of Data Engineers and none of them know even basic stats (and if they know, they don't get to use it anyway).
