Course Description
Welcome!
I am looking forward to helping you with learning one of the in-demand data engineering tools in the cloud, Azure Synapse Analytics! This course has been taught with implementing a data engineering solution using Azure Synapse Analytics for a real world project of analysing and reporting on NYC Taxi trips data.
This is like no other course in Udemy for Azure Synapse Analytics. Once you have completed the course including all the assignments, I strongly believe that you will be in a position to start a real world data engineering project on your own and also proficient on Azure Synapse Analytics. The primary focus of the course is Azure Synapse Analytics, but it also covers the relevant concepts and connectivity to the other technologies mentioned.
The course follows a logical progression of a real world project implementation with technical concepts being explained and the scripts and notebooks being built at the same time. Even though this course is not specifically designed to teach you the skills required for passing the exams Azure Data Engineer Associate Certification [DP-203] or Designing and Implementing Enterprise-Scale Analytics Solutions Using Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Power BI [DP-500], it can greatly help you get most of the necessary skills required for the exams.
I value your time as much as I do mine. So, I have designed this course to be fast-paced and to the point. Also, the course has been taught with simple English and no jargons. I start the course from basics and by the end of the course you will be proficient in the technologies used.
Currently the course teaches you the following
Azure Synapse Analytics Architecture
Serverless SQL Pool
Spark Pool
Dedicated SQL Pool
Synapse Pipelines
Synapse Link for Cosmos DB / Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing (HTAP) capability
Power BI Integration with Azure Synapse Analytics
Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 integration with Azure Synapse Analytics
Project using NYC Taxi Trips data using the above technologies
Please note that the following are not currently covered
Data Flows
Advanced concepts around Dedicated SQL Pool
Spark Programming
SQL Fundamentals

Really enjoyed this course. The explanations are clear, and the hands-on project made Azure Synapse much easier to understand. I learned a lot and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in Azure Data Engineering.
By Kiet on 2/8/2026
The course was too long and tedious; I thought it would be a practical course, but it turned out to be too theoretical and drawn out.
By Sai Kiran on 11/16/2025
Excellent course which helps in getting detailed understanding of most of the components in Azure Synapse Analytics. The hands on exercises will help in understanding the real time scenarios. The way the project is built from scratch into an enterprise level data warehouse is definitely a commendable effort.

I really enjoyed this course and as total beginner this course is high valuable for me. It has extremely great detailing and explanation. The only thing I wish Ramesh would speak a bit slower when explaining as it's too fast for me.
By Gudrun Liebel on 3/27/2025
I love the Architecture-Guided content and sequence. This i missed in the other courses I scanned. one Point: I caused costs of 500Euro, when I forgot to stop the Resource PowerBi Embedded for some days (I was busy in a project) In German it's called "Lehrgeld"
By Murali Mohan on 3/5/2025
Overall the content is good except for scheduling the production env like scripts (through ADF) to run for creating external tables and running copy command for Dedicated SQL pool . Also, schema evolution part is not covered at all. Also, Dedicated SQL pool is part of Azure Synapse Analytics but not many features are covered in detail eg., partitioning, distribution, indexes which are critical for tables in an enterprise data warehouse. Happy to provide the 5 rating if these topics are covered .
By Thomas Krist on 3/26/2024
Theory is well explained and practical examples are very helpful. Using the data from the NYC taxi makes it very practical. Overall the course exceeded my expectations and through the course I felt like I understand most of the times and did not get lost. I will def use the knowledge from this course in my job.
By Tariq Khan on 1/28/2023
Excellent course designed and very well explained each topic to understand Synapse Analytics, serverl se sql pool, dedicated sql pool and spark pool. I have would like to congratulate Ramesh that I have learned a lot. Thank you so much

Such an wonderful course Ramesh, loved your vocabulary and the way of explanation was very simple and professional, i am looking forward to learn a lot of courses on data tech stack. Keep giving us more courses like this and i will be waiting to learn it from you in particular.
By Anonymized User on 8/29/2022
Amazing course and amazing Tutor. Thank you Ramesh for taking the time to be so thorough and detailed. I am much more comfortable with ADF and Synapse now. I have seen other courses that attempt to cover all of DP-203 in 20 hours but I love your approach. Waiting for the course on SQL Pool!
