Get Started with Databricks for Data Engineering

In this course, you will learn basic skills that will allow you to use the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform to perform a simple data engineering workflow and support data warehousing endeavors. You will be given a tour of the workspace and be shown how to work with objects in Databricks such as catalogs, schemas, volumes, tables, compute clusters, and notebooks. You will then follow a basic data engineering workflow to perform tasks such as creating and working with tables, ingesting data into Delta Lake, transforming data through the medallion architecture, and using Databricks Workflows to orchestrate data engineering tasks. You’ll also learn how Databricks supports data warehousing needs through the use of Databricks SQL, Delta Live Tables, and Unity Catalog. With the purchase of a Databricks Labs subscription, the course also closes out with a comprehensive lab exercise to practice what you’ve learned in a live Databricks Workspace environment.

Machine Learning Practitioner

Machine Learning at Scale

In this course, you will gain theoretical and practical knowledge of Apache Spark’s architecture and its application to machine learning workloads within Databricks. You will learn when to use Spark for data preparation, model training, and deployment, while also gaining hands-on experience with Spark ML and pandas APIs on Spark. This course will introduce you to advanced concepts like hyperparameter tuning and scaling Optuna with Spark. This course will use features and concepts introduced in the associate course, such as MLflow and Unity Catalog, for comprehensive model packaging and governance.

Generative AI Engineer

Generative AI Fundamentals

Welcome to Generative AI Fundamentals. This course provides an introduction to how organizations can understand and utilize generative artificial intelligence (AI) models. First, we'll start off with a quick introduction to generative AI - we'll discuss what it is and pay special attention to large language models, also known as LLMs. Then, we’ll move into how organizations can find success with generative AI - we’ll take a deeper dive into what LLM applications are, discuss how Lakehouse AI can help you succeed, and discuss essential considerations for adopting AI in general. Finally, we'll tackle important aspects to consider when evaluating the potential risks and challenges associated with using/adopting generative AI.

Introductory

Generative AI Engineer

Generative AI Application Development

The course is designed to provide you the practical experience in building advanced LLM applications using multi-stage reasoning LLM chains and agents. First, you’ll learn how to decompose a problem into its components and select the most suitable model for each step to enhance business use cases. Following this, we’ll show you how to construct a multi-stage reasoning chain utilizing LangChain and HuggingFace transformers. Finally, you’ll be introduced to agents and will design an autonomous agent using generative models on Databricks.

Note: This is the second course in the 'Generative AI Engineering with Databricks’ series.
