Hey, what's up, Gurus?
Welcome to section 6, Stream Processing Solutions.
In this video, we're going to be walking through
what you can expect from this section.
Let's start off with where we are.
So you are right here in the dead center
of the DP-203 in Stream Processing Solutions.
So we're going to be stepping aside from batch,
and as you guessed, everything is going to be about stream.
A few discussion points as we move through this section
that you need to be aware of.
First, foundations of streaming.
So you need to be thinking about the concepts
that we're discussing through the course
and through this section,
and be thinking about what service
would best fit that concept.
And not only just what service would best fit that concept,
but what are the steps that I would need to do
in order to implement whatever concept
we're talking about in Azure.
If you do that, you're going to be very well set up,
not just for the DP-203,
but also for your data engineering journey.
Next up, we are going to be doing a deep dive
into Azure Stream Analytics.
Azure Stream Analytics is very important
for streaming in Azure.
There are some other services that we'll touch on as well,
but this is the one we're going to focus the most on.
Also, keep in mind that
this is a design and implement section,
so you need to be thinking
about both of those things as we learn.
So not just, how do I implement a stream processing solution
in Azure Stream Analytics,
but why, and how would I design it.
What are the things that I need to be thinking
about as we move through?
If you think about that,
you should be pretty well set up for the DP-203
and for this section.
Last up, a few key points to remember.
First, are you still hungry?
We're about halfway through this course.
And if you remember from the lesson back
in section 1, do you have a plan?
Are you still on track with your schedule?
What's your next reward?
Make sure that you revisit that
and figure out if you were still on track,
and what next thing you can look forward to
as you move through this course.
Second, repetition. So this is true for the entire course.
You need to be thinking
about those key services and concepts,
rewatching when you get stuck,
going through and practicing those labs more than once,
so that you can work on the concepts
that are being built in the section.
Finally, don't forget code.
We sometimes talk about code
and sometimes don't talk about code,
but you need to make sure
that you understand the basic concepts.
I've said this before,
you don't need to memorize the code,
you don't need to be able to do
absolutely everything just using code,
but you should be familiar with the basic concepts enough
that you could look at a string of code and say,
"Yeah, that makes sense,"
or, "No, I think this might be a little off."
If you've done all that,
you should be very well prepared for the DP-203 exam
and you should be more than ready to move into this section.
All right, enough talking from me,
let dive in to section 6, Stream Processing Solutions.
