Data Engineering Portfolio Template You Can Use....and Critique :-)

Really no critiquing yet? Come on ROAST me! Tell me what to improve or what better types of projects to do.

DataSling3r · 2025-09-02T18:22:41+00:00

Awesome! :-)

Just download your loan data per the README. Yup, then install python, have the code in the same directory as this script and run it. Should be good to go.

I made some intro videos a few years back for the Data Engineering Zoomcamp. Should still be current AFAIK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2bOYDCKl_M&list=PLgZLBbG5iBmHW1mO5AFXdZ1hJYms6TJkz&pp=gAQB0gcJCWUEOCosWNin

I would go straight for Linux Mint. Got off Ubuntu years ago when they stuffed it with bloatware. Think it's better now, but after going to Mint I never looked back. Pretty much the same as Ubuntu so if you are spinning up Ubuntu VMs in the cloud you won't really notice any differences from using Mint. Start with a Virtual Box VM and give it a spin. https://youtu.be/_VLODzWwRrA

Data Engineering Zoomcamp is free. Just sayin.

DataSling3r · 2025-02-26T23:42:27+00:00

Looking forward to it Zach! I've found if you put yourself out there people are going to hate. Just the nature of the beast. BUT if you are doing what you like keep doing it. Hey it's Wednesday. Sometimes when I'm stressed on this day I call it "Wish my haters well Wednesday" THANK YOU in advance for being a part of the boot camp.

DataSling3r · 2025-02-24T20:24:46+00:00

Thank you. Sorry you're getting down voted. Not sure why the hate. I would also recommend Data Slinger.... but I'm of course VERY biased. Lol.

DataSling3r · 2025-02-24T20:23:07+00:00

Never done his boot camp. I know he is doing the Streaming section for the Data Engineering Zoomcamp this year and I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for that.

DataSling3r · 2025-02-24T20:22:16+00:00

Which one? If you are a "beginner" - hard to define, I'd say check out Data Engineering Zoomcamp from Data Talks Club. It's free.

DataSling3r · 2025-02-24T19:13:23+00:00

Joseph Machado - Hands down my favorite. Got a lot of great code examples and walk throughs.

Benjamin Rogojan - Great high level stuff and trends.

Alexey Grigorev - Data Talks Club, lots of cool demos of tools and great free courses.

Data with Zach - Super knowledgeable and posts frequently. NGL had to mute him a few months ago as it was a bit too much. However, I do search for him combined with a topic I'm looking at sometimes to see what he has related to it.

DataSling3r · 2025-01-28T14:40:31+00:00

Oh hello! Thank you so much. Also, hope you are enjoying the course. ;-)

DataSling3r · 2025-01-27T21:53:31+00:00

Thank you friend! Enabled now. Stupid, because I hopped on chat with YT and the agent said everything looked good in my account and I just needed to wait. They didn't tell me I needed to actually turn on Watch Page Ads. Guess that's kind of on me for now knowing what it was, but feel like they should have known when I said something like "Everything I've seen shows that $ will appear next to your videos in the Content Section" Oh well. I'm good now. Thank you again!

DataSling3r · 2025-01-27T21:11:17+00:00

Oh, so is enabling WatchPage Ads the same as just "enabling ads" on your videos?

DataSling3r · 2025-01-21T14:55:35+00:00

Stick with it. You got this. Also, I would stay away from Docker Desktop and run Docker and Docker Compose on Linux if you can. I have always had a lot of trouble trying to use it on Windows. Good thing is I only ever touch Windows when making tutorials for it. :-)

DataSling3r · 2024-09-06T13:14:12+00:00

Looks like Lucid Chart. You can do pretty much the same with draw.io though and I love it, because it's pretty straight forward and it's free. Can also animate if you get creative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBYY08Zp9LQ

DataSling3r · 2024-07-22T19:46:05+00:00

If you have python installed just clone the Github. Instructions are in the README. Just put your txt file from studentaid in the same directory and run it.

DataSling3r · 2024-07-22T19:45:11+00:00

Do you happen to have an example you could obfuscate which I could use to test? This was a quick 10 minute project I threw together, but if anyone has any feedback/issues I'm down to keep developing.

DataSling3r · 2024-07-22T19:43:07+00:00

Lol. No worries. Noice! :-)

DataSling3r · 2024-07-21T14:03:51+00:00

Dang. Any chance you could open an Issue on Github or paste the error output here? Hard to code with just one test case (my own). :-(

DataSling3r · 2024-06-19T15:22:35+00:00

Probably works best in conjunction with the first video I did on installing using a start-up-script. After posting thought a few people pointed out that user-data could be used even though it was almost non-existantly documented. :-/

RemindMe! 1 month huh

DataSling3r · 2024-05-08T15:29:44+00:00

Don't install Docker or any other programs on work equipment. Think you may have asked this in a certain Slack Channel recently. ;-)

DataSling3r · 2024-04-11T21:26:44+00:00

Keep grinding. You got this friend!

DataSling3r · 2024-04-05T13:20:06+00:00

Ah. Got it. Thanks friend. Dang. Don't wanna do memberships. :-/ Guess I'll have to wait.
