To get the most out of this course, you should feel comfortable with coding and command line and know the basics of SQL. Prior experience with Python will be helpful, but you can pick Python relatively fast if you have experience with other programming languages.
Prior experience with data engineering is not required.
For this course, you'll need to have the following software installed on your computer:
- Docker and Docker-Compose
- Python 3 (e.g. via Anaconda)
- Google Cloud SDK
- Terraform
See Week 1 for more details about installing these tools
