Data Engineering at Udacity is quite interesting, cool interface/videos and all lessons are well structured with real life project.
I love the project , the reviewers comments and generally the way it was reviewed! -
I'm working as dwh engineer and want to forward to check how data engineer stuff going on and I did some research about which course or programm I should start study on then I find udacity and few other programms and compare them by content difference , which tools they are using while course going on ,which technologies they are prefer to apply and how these are fits to real life scenarios and belive me the one of most important point is evaluation proccess of your projects and asking questions to MENTORS (till now I can't see any question not answered). I see udacity far best ! . I advice you to check udacity courses before you decide to start.

The project gave me a better knowledge about OLAP vs. OLTP, normalization, denormalization, and how to implement it into practice. I have been working in Data Engineering field for 3 years, but the program has given me a clear understanding about why we need those concepts in DE fields.

Everything looks good for a start and continue with Data Engineer. I expect to know the most about Data Engineer but my work is a bit busy lately. I will manage it. If you have more perspective about Data Engineering, please advise me. -
AnonymousI've just completed the first project. The project was great since it's what you'd expect to be able to do at work, and the reviewer's comments and guidance were helpful and informative!
Never Stop Learning!
