Hands-on Foundations for Data Science and Machine Learning with Google Cloud Labs

Activities in these self-paced labs are derived from the exercises from the book Data Science on Google Cloud Platform by Valliappa Lakshmanan, published by O'Reilly Media, Inc. In this Google Cloud Labs Series, covering chapter 9 through the end of the book, you run full-fledged machine learning jobs with state-of-the-art tools and real-world data sets, all using Google Cloud tools and services.

Note: you will have timed access to the online environment. You will need to complete the lab within the allotted time.

Want to scale your data analysis efforts without managing database hardware? Learn the best practices for querying and getting insights from your data warehouse with this interactive collection of BigQuery Google Cloud Labs Series. BigQuery is Google's fully managed, NoOps, low-cost analytics database. With BigQuery you can query terabytes and terabytes of data without having any infrastructure to manage or needing a database administrator. BigQuery uses SQL and can take advantage of the pay-as-you-go model. BigQuery allows you to focus on analyzing data to find meaningful insights.

In this Google Cloud Labs Series, learn how to transform your data warehouse using BigQuery, including how to:
1. Use a command line interface to query and load sample data.
2. Create new reporting tables using SQL, JOINS, and UNIONs.
3. Create dataset partitions that will reduce cost and improve query performance.
4. Create and troubleshoot joins.
5. Load, query, and un-nest semi-structured datasets.
6. Use Data Catalog.
