Clarity of the cloud with Microsoft Learning Experience.
- by Testas
while waiting for the Superbowl, I thought I would write this.....
2014 will not only see the release of a new version of SQL
Server, but also accompanying this is the release of courses and certification
tracks from Microsoft Learning Experience – formerly Microsoft Learning -- that
will support the education of SQL Server and related technologies.
The notable addition in the curriculum, is substantial material
on cloud and big data features that pertain to data and business intelligence.
There are entire module/chapters that are dedicated Power BI, SQL Azure and
HDInsight.
Certifications and courses from Microsoft can get stick –
sometimes fair and sometimes unfairly. Whilst I am a massive advocate of
community to get information and education. Microsoft’s new courses will bring
clarity to the burning topics of the moment and help you to understand the capabilities
of Power BI and HDInsight.
From a business intelligence perspective there will be three
courses:
20463C: Data warehousing in SQL Server 2014
20466C: data models and reports in SQL Server 2014
20467A: Designing Self-Service Business Intelligence and Big
Data Solutions
These are not the exact titles of the course, but will be
confirmed prior to the release. And if you have already completed the SQL
Server 2012 or 2008 curriculum, there is an upgrade course from
10977A: Upgrading business intelligence skills from 2008 to
2014.
Again this is not the exact title, but these should give you
an idea.
Look out for announcements from Microsoft Learning
Experience….
