Better Data Modeling: Agile Data Engineering

You asked for it, you got it!

Ever since I wrote my Kindle book on Agile Data Engineering and Data Vault 2.0, many, many people have asked me to provide it in a hardcopy format. Well, I finally managed to find time to convert that ebook into a paperback book (I even corrected a few errors in the process).

If you forgot what the book was about, here is the description:

This book will give you a short introduction to Agile Data Engineering for Data Warehousing and Data Vault 2.0. I will explain why you should be trying to become Agile, some of the history and rationale for Data Vault 2.0, and then show you the basics for how to build a data warehouse model using the Data Vault 2.0 standards.In addition, I will cover some details about the Business Data Vault (what it is) and then how to build a virtual Information Mart off your Data Vault and Business Vault using the Data Vault 2.0 architecture.So if you want to start learning about Agile Data Engineering with Data Vault 2.0, this book is for you.

So here it is – Introduction to Agile Data Engineering – now available to purchase on Amazon.

Get your copy now. Next time you see me at an event, I will be happy to sign it for you. 🙂

Enjoy!

Agile Amped Video – Live from Southern Fried Agile

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the Southern Fried Agile event in Charlotte, North Carolina.

It was quite an event with over 700 people in attendance. This is a primarily local event drawing people mostly from the Charlotte area. To say agile is big in that town is an understatement. There were some very large, name brand, companies present. If you are interested in learning more about taking an agile approach to development, I can highly recommend this event which draws excellent speakers (and vendors) from all over. (And the traditional southern fried lunch was pretty darn good too!)

My talk was on applying agile methods to data warehousing projects. I had a great audience of about 50 who wanted to learn how they might approach their DW projects differently.

In addition to giving my talk I got the opportunity to participate in my 2nd Agile Amped interview. This time my interviewer was Leslie from SolutionsIQ. We talked a lot about the rise of agile in the data warehousing space and how new technology solutions like Snowflake’s Cloud-Native Elastic Data Warehouse are helping organizations achieve a more agile deployment cycle.

Here is the entire interview for your viewing pleasure:

Enjoy.
