Course Description
Data Warehousing
Learning how to extract, clean and load data into a SQL database warehouse are highly required skills for data analysis field. You will learn in this course how to use Microsoft Excel to clean your data before loading them into a Microsoft SQL Server database. You will learn how to use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) which is one of Microsoft Business Intelligence tools to perform ETL process. You will learn a simple technique that save you a lot of time and help to avoid many possible errors during the ETL process. You will learn also how to use SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to create business reports and data analysis with SQL queries. This course is designed to be more practical by putting your hands on real projects with diverse business scenarios to learn by practice. Learning via practice is the best way to get knowledge stuck in your mind because it is similar to acquire experience through work.

My name is Abraham Joudah
I have worked in IT and Data Science for more than 15 years. After completed my bachelor’s in computer science, I worked as Database Administrator in one of the engineering companies. I have obtained several certificates from Microsoft like MCSE, MCDBA and MCSA. After several years of working in IT, I started focusing on Data Science field and learning SQL in depth to enhance my business data analysis skills. I also worked as Data Analyst in several companies. Over several years of working in this field I mastered several analytical tools, such as: R, SAS, SQL, Tableau, and Excel. As I enjoy working at data science field I pursued my study in this major and obtained my Master’s degree in Business Analytics from University of North Texas and Doctorate degree in Knowledge Management from SMU University.
I love teaching Data Science, So I decided to create several courses in this field to share my knowledge with others. I tried to be more practical in my classes rather than repeating the same materials and curriculums in this field. I used materials based on real business scenarios to provide practical knowledge for students. I focused on examples from real business. In other words, I created shortcuts for learners to gain practical experience while studying my courses.

For me it was a good course, it had everything i wanted and expected. A lot of practical tasks, which for me was a big plus
By Anthony Naciuk on 5/15/2023
Instructions work in 2023 - Awesome! The course briefly explains the concepts, and makes them stick by using real world projects and examples. The technology used is a little old (SSMS 2017, SSRS 2013, etc), but the fundamental skills and practices are solid. This is an EXCELLENT course for beginners in Data Engineering.

It was a good match for me as I believe it is a good reminder of all I have been trying to learn about ETL ,Reporting and Power BI. It is straight to the point and if practiced over and over again, it is definitely worthy of knowledge to get a job.
By Hani Hasan on 12/3/2022
I love the content and material presentation. Everything explained in this course is easy to understand and follow along with the lecture. I would definitely recommend this to any person who is interested to learn about Data Warehousing.

Very impressed! Promised practical knowledge, delivering exactly that so far in to the course. Thanks you for creating this course and helping others learn and playing your bit in the development of the collective skills and knowledge of our species:)

I was not sure for the first couple videos if this course was for me but by now I am sure that it is the right one!
By Shankrappa Kulkarni on 11/14/2020
In this video he told only ETL that is taking excel -converting to -txt-and opening in excel -and converting columns to string,number,date thats it.
He told about reports i don't think that will helpful we can do it in Tablue by creating dashboards etc.
Don't get this course i simply wasted and they making money

Not good in iPhone
By Steve Dimopoulos on 10/26/2020
I enjoyed the course and feel I got a lot out of it. I especially like that the instructor would patiently repeat steps covered in previous lectures rather than assuming that students had already mastered the topic. The repetition helped me fill in the blanks. Thanks.
By Greg Williams on 10/23/2020
Extremely basic (repetitive) teaching of ETL using very narrow scope of functionality in SSIS. Zero knowledge regarding data warehouse concepts or design. Have not gotten into SSRS portion of course yet. Don't expect to be able to gain anything close to knowledge level in ETL or data warehouse skills to be able to get a job in the field. Hopefully the SSRS portion is better. Moving on to a different course for now.

thanks a lot !
By Chuck Henderson on 10/6/2020
The title of the course indicated the subject was about datawarehousing and Microsoft BI. However, creating a new database and adding two tables 5 separate times isn't datawarehousing. ETL is presented as taking a CSV, changing the extension to txt and converting all the data to text and then opening the file in excel to change columns back to different data types before setting up a simple SSIS project to import into one of the 5 databases that were created. There's no discussion of using ETL to load a real data warehouse with star or snowflake schemas as I assumed from the title.
