After you are comfortable with data modeling terminology and have built a number of data models, often the way to continuously sharpen your skills is to take on more challenging assignments. We had so much fun with a set of challenges at Enterprise Data World 2017. This year there are all new challenges covering topics such as:
- Agile modeling
- Abstraction
- Mapping data requirements to relational and NoSQL databases
- Typing type entities
- Advanced relational, dimensional, and NoSQL modeling
Join us, as in groups we solve and discuss a set of model scenarios.
