How to Create First Data Engineering Project? An Incremental Project Roadmap

On Apr 16, 2022, I wrote a detailed Roadmap of how to learn Data Engineering as a beginner. The roadmap was a great hit. However, it had a significant gap.

People often fail to remain consistent while learning so many different technologies. They fail to piece it together. The roadmap should have addressed the challenge of this dwindling attention span. We will try to explore how an Incremental Project Roadmap can address this gap.

The Data Engineering Roadmap listed plenty of topics to cover, which are still relevant. It also had a great tracker to plan the topics and track progress. But it lacked some elements of structure around what to learn first and what to implement as a real-world project.

Also, the plan was great for beginners, but what about people who have some experience in the field and are willing to implement hands-on?

While making the move from an ETL Developer to Data Engineer I faced a similar challenge. Now in 2023, when I look back, I feel I would have done much better with a different approach.

Long post alert: This is going to be a pretty long read but be assured it will save a lot of time while learning. So sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and read on….
